Golden Ace - The Wonder Mare
The legacy of the Kingwell Hurdle has been elevated once again thanks to its 2025 winner, Golden Ace. The remarkable mare battled bravely to claim victory at Wincanton before going on to capture the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, cementing her place in the history books.
It was a milestone achievement for local trainer Jeremy Scott, jockey Lorcan Williams, and long-standing Wincanton member and owner Ian Gosden, a true success story!
Golden Ace has continued to dazzle racegoers, adding the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle to her growing list of triumphs. As we look ahead, one question remains: What more can this extraordinary mare achieve, and who will rise to follow in her footsteps as the next Kingwell Hurdle champion in 2026?
