After a season of limited success in 2025, the Always Trying Racing Syndicate has entered 2026 with renewed energy, ambition, and a statement of intent that has caught the attention of racing followers and industry insiders alike.
The syndicate kicked off the new year in spectacular fashion by securing an exciting £24,000 purchase — the progressive three-year-old filly Fille Imbassee from the powerful Marco Botti yard. The acquisition represents not only a significant investment, but also a belief in long-term development, performance, and strategic race placement.
Fille Imbassee has already shown her quality on the track, breaking her maiden with authority on just her fifth career start. Speaking highly of the filly, Marco Botti commented:
“The filly has progressed with every race and is sure to be in the winners enclosure again.”
Currently rated 68, she looks to remain one step ahead of the handicapper, giving the syndicate optimism that there is plenty more to come as she steps into more competitive company. With natural progression expected as she strengthens and matures, connections are confident she can continue climbing the ranks.
An added boost comes through her full qualification for the GBB bonus scheme — a valuable incentive that opens the door to targeting races where additional prize money can be secured. This aligns perfectly with the syndicate’s strategy of placing horses where they can be both competitive and commercially successful.
Physically, Fille Imbassee is a rangy, athletic filly with scope and presence. Her stride pattern and running style suggest she will be ideally suited to distances ranging from 1 mile up to 1 mile 2 furlongs, giving her a wide range of opportunities across the racing calendar.
For the Always Trying Racing Syndicate, 2026 already feels like a turning point. With an exciting young winner in the team and clear targets ahead, there is a growing sense that the syndicate is building momentum — and perhaps writing the early chapters of a much bigger story.
