Higher Power

Sun 01 Nov 2026

Winner 109 of 2026: HIGH CALIBRE, trained by Richard Hannon and ridden by Sean Levey. The ‘Idee 158th. German Derby In Hamburg Nursery Handicap’ over 1m1f at Newmarket ( Rowley Mile).

What a performance from our very likeable colt, who ran a good race last time out to finish a close third at Bath. High Calibre broke extremely well under Sean and sat prominently for the first half of the race before he disputed the lead.

Travelling powerfully through the dip, he showed a tremendous attitude, fighting off his challengers in the final furlong before going clear to win by over 3 lengths.

It was our 25th Saturday winner of the season, with our 2-year-olds currently at a 15% winners' strike rate and 32% placed 1st or 2nd.

Don't miss out, as we have only 15% left in the impressive winner:
