We are delighted to welcome Charlie Clover to our training ranks. 
 

We have three horses in training with Charlie.  Queens Bandit has made a promising start to her career whilst Literary and Hint of Belief are on the cusp of making their debuts and we are extremely excited to follow their journeys.

​

Assisting in the growth of his brother, Tom's successful yard, Charlie obtained an amateur flat and jumps licenses, as well as a point-to-point license, enjoying wins across the board.
 

Eager to expand his knowledge, Charlie spent some time in America working for White Birch Farm, where he assisted in pretraining some of the most promising yearlings in the country. He also worked with Christophe Clement Racing, one of America's most respected trainers. 

Upon his return from the States, Charlie immediately took on an assistant role for Kevin Philippart de Foy, where he was tasked with opening and managing a new secondary yard for the growing business (Kings Yard, Egerton). The yard went on to achieve tremendous success, contributing 28 of the 62 total winners last year. Subsequently, Charlie spent last winter in Dubai, where he saddled Vafortino to win and place second in two valuable black-type races at Meydan.

​Neil King trains Cheng Gong who has proved himself on the flat and over hurdles providing plenty of fun for his owners as well as trips into winner's enclosures.  Cuban Court (winner on debut) is also trained by Neil as are two of our filllies Cluain Aodha and Maridadi. Our most recent acquisition is a gelding by Scorpion.

​

Neil's Ridgeway Racing facility is set on the stunning Marlborough Downs in Wiltshire.  His first class facilities with his "hands on" knowledgeable approach has produced 100+ winners in the last five seasons and he says "I enjoy keeping all owners closely and regularly informed on their horses well-being and progress.  I pride myself on having a size of string whereby I can train every horse as an individual to get the best possible results."

​

Key successes include:

• Lil Rockerfeller winning the £50,000 Glorious Handicap by 15 lengths

Our star filly Jumbeau is based with Royal Ascot winning Trainer Tom Clover in Newmarket.  It's always exciting watching the progress of our horses, especially from unraced yearling to the racecourse and Jumbeau has certainly proved the case winning on her debut and then going on to pick up Black Type at York.  Kento, a Kuroshio colt is also being trained by Tom for the Lingfield Park Owners Group.

​

Tom is based at Kremlin House Stables in the heart of Newmarket with access to an extensive range of gallops all maintained to the highest standard by Jockey Club Estates.  The husband and wife team are up and coming having started in 2016.  Highlights for Tom and Jackie to date include Rogue Millenium winning the Gr 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot, Celsius’ victory at Glorious Goodwood, Hunni taking the £40,000 EBF Fillies’ Nursery at Newmarket and the exploits of 6,000gns yearling buy Gypsy Spirit who finished placed in no less than five Stakes races.

​

James Owen is Newmarket's newest NH trainer having taken out his licence in January 2023 with an impressive strike rate of 22% including producing our own Our Gift to You to win on his debut for the LPOG NH syndicate convincingly at Southwell and then a week later to win first time over fences at Worcester. By March 2024 MGTY, a definite yard favourite, had added to his prize fund with his 5th win!

​

Green Ridge Stables are ideally positioned next to Newmarket Heath giving access to first class iconic gallops.  As well as the usual facilities you'd expect at a successful racing yard, James has a range of paddocks allowing R&R time for the horses.

​

His passion for NH began during his successful career as an  amateur jockey.  He also trains a string of Arabian racehorses winning the UK Arabian Champion Trainer title no less than 5 times.  He and his wife Jenny also run a successful pre-training yard.

Multiple winning Cinque Verde is in training with Tony Carroll, Mill House Racing in Worcester. Joining her for the 2024 season is a 2yo filly for our LPOG. Tony holds a dual licence and on the flat has won signature races at Glorious Goodwood and The Dash at Epsom. His success under National Hunt rules includes winning the Scottish County Hurdle as well as several wins at the prestigious Scottish Grand National meeting at Ayr.

Edward worked for Mckeever bloodstock in Newmarket before working for Australian trainers Gai Waterhouse and Chris Waller.  On his return to the UK he took up the position of Assistant Trainer for Michael Bell as well as Mark Johnston, Henry Candy, Chris Grassick and William Muir,  He was granted his licence in February 2024 and has made a promising start from Frenchman's House Stables in Upper Lambourn.

As well as launching the Adam Kirby Racing Club we also have a super 2yo in training with Adam, Chapel Down who ran an eye-catching debut at Wolverhampton.

For nearly 10 years, Adam has enjoyed great success with Vicarage Farm Pre-Training, focusing on breaking and pre-training yearlings on behalf of a range of clients, including Godolphin. During this time, he has been associated with many Group 1 winners, including 2000 Guineas winner Notable Speech, July Cup winner Millstream, and five-time Group 1 winner Modern Games.

​

Now, as a Racehorse Trainer, he’s taken that experience and perspective and brought it into a new chapter. He understands what it takes to get the best out of a horse, not just physically, but mentally too. Every horse in his yard is treated as an individual, with care, patience, and attention to detail at the heart of the training process. 

With access to excellent facilities and varied training grounds, we can tailor each horse’s routine to suit their individual needs, keeping them happy, relaxed, and moving forward in the right way. With acres of turnout available, they also have the freedom to be themselves.
