Trainers

One of the most successful and respected trainers of his generation, and a winner of six Classics, William Haggas is consistently in the top three in the UK trainers’ championship. Based at Somerville Lodge yard in Newmarket, he trains for some of the most high-profile owners in the sport, including the Royal Family, Cheveley Park and Shadwell. Renowned for his patience and skill in not rushing his horses onto the racecourse, he is a master of his trade.

Based at the historic Kingsclere Stables in Hampshire, Classic-winning trainer Andrew Balding has an outstanding record on the international stage. His yard is one of the best equipped and most beautiful private training grounds in the UK with upwards of 200 stables. The gallops at Kingsclere are extensive and include three all-weather surfaces, two grass gallops and a set of schooling fences. Andrew and his team starred in the hugely popular Amazon Prime documentary, Horsepower.

We are delighted to announce our new addition to the RaceShare training roster, Ralph Beckett, who is one of the country’s leading, Classic-winning trainers. He has been responsible for the likes of Gr.1 winners Bluestocking, Westover, You Got To Me, Talent, Simple Verse, and many more.

Classic-winning trainer Roger Varian is based at the historic Carlburg Stables in Newmarket, and is one of the country's leading Flat trainers, with 28 Group 1 winners to date. Last year showcased Roger's outstanding skill, with Elmalka winning the 1,000 Guineas, and the brilliant Charyn being crowned International Champion Miler after three Group 1 wins in the season, including Royal Ascot's Queen Anne Stakes, and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day.

A Tipperary native, Quinn was a jockey both in Ireland and the UK before joining the training ranks. His son Sean joined him on the licence in 2024 and the team have around 65 horses split between their two yards in Malton in North Yorkshire, where the facilities include gallops, paddocks, schooling grounds, a treadmill, indoor school and an equine spa. John's exceptional training talent is perhaps best summarised through stable star, Highfield Princess - beaten off a rating of 57 in her first handicap back in 2020, she went on to become a multiple Group 1 winner just two years later.

Charlie took over the licence at Kingsley Park in 2023 and has quickly established himself amongst the leading trainers in the UK, with 119 wins in 2024, and just over £2m in prize money. His famous father Mark remains heavily involved in the Middleham operation as his assistant. As a qualified vet, Charlie is ideally positioned for understanding the physical demands of their horses and how best to help them excel on the racecourse.

David has a long standing reputation as one of the country's shrewdest handlers and we are very excited to have him on board. He has an outstanding record for improving horses from other yards, with wins right up to Group 1 level (such as Lord Glitters and Suedois) and the likes of Custom Cut, who went on to win multiple Group races having joined David with a rating of 73.

Eve trains from the historic Woodway in Blewbury, Oxon, a village at the foot of the Berkshire Downs section of the North Wessex Downs, about 4 miles south of Didcot. In her career as a trainer, Eve has time and again shown her ability to compete at a high level with inexpensive horses. The 2024 Flat season was Eve’s most successful, with 56 wins and nearly £1m in prize money, from progressive performers such as Rage Of Bamby, Betty Clover and Great Acclaim. One of Eve's best known horses in recent history has been the hugely popular Accidental Agent, winner of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot in 2018 and a stalwart ever since.

Archie's achievements since taking out a licence in 2016 have been top class, with over 800 winners and five Group 1s to date. He does particularly well with sprinters, showcased perfectly by multiple Group 1 winner, Bradsell. Archie has a particularly strong record for improving recruits from other stables.

Although only in the fifth year of his training career, Ed Bethell has rapidly established himself as one of the most promising young talents in the country. Despite only having a small string of horses, he registered Listed and Group wins with Fearby and Artistic Rifles in his first year, only to top that with Regional winning the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup in 2023. His overall statistics are very impressive from the quality of bloodstock he has received. Ed's yard is in Middleham, North Yorkshire- a very picturesque small racing town with stunning views, that is well worth a visit in itself!

Training from Cottage Field Stables, deep in the idyllic Herefordshire countryside, Tom has built a reputation as a very astute campaigner of his horses. The likes of Glory And Fortune, Sebastopol, Blow Your Wad & Cruz Control have advertised his talents at the major Festivals in recent seasons. As former trainer, Charlie Brooks has said- “Tom lives and breathes his horses- a quick look around his training facilities shows that no expense has been spared to make sure his horses have the best possible opportunity for achieving their full potential. I have never met a more dedicated individual”. With a background steeped in the sport, including riding winners in point-to-points, Tom takes a hands-on approach to schooling his horses, and believes this dedicated application brings results on the racecourse.

Dual Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer Jamie has trained over 450 winners, and the 2024/25 season was his most successful yet, with 62 wins. Jamie’s previous stable stars included Ga Law, winner of the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham’s November meeting, the brilliant mare You Wear It Well, winner of the Jack De Bromhead Mares’ Hurdle at The Festival, and Datsalrightgino, winner of the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Most recently, Julius Des Picton gave Jamie his first Grade 1 winner with victory in the Sefton Novice Hurdle at Aintree. Jamie has an impeccable CV, having been assistant trainer to two greats of the sports, Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson. Folly House Stables in Lambourn is home to Jamie’s growing yard, as demand for his skills increases.
