Group 1 hero NEVER SO BRAVE bounces back in £165,000 Challenge Stakes | Full Race | Racing TV

Never So Brave narrowly denied his stablemate Flora Of Bermuda to lead home a one-two for title-chasing Andrew Balding in the 2026 Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards Challenge Stakes at Newmarket. A Group One winner in the City of York Stakes in August 2025, Never So Brave had struggled to replicate that form since, most recently finishing only sixth behind fellow Saeed Suhail-owned ace More Thunder in Doncaster’s Park Stakes. He was a 4-1 shot for his latest Group Two assignment, with Flora Of Bermuda the 85-40 favourite, but bounced back to form to win the battle by a neck in the hands of Oisin Murphy. Balding said: “Things haven’t gone right for him (Never So Brave) so I’m delighted he could get a win. He’s a talented horse, a pleasure to have in the yard, so I’m pleased both for him and his owner." #horseracing #horses #newmarket Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
