Since sending out his first runner just over a decade ago, James has already saddled over 500 winners to win nearly £6 million of prize money.  In addition, he has now become an established source of Group performers including the three current stallions Invincible Army, Far Above and Hey Gaman.

2023 started in style with Iconic Moment touching off stablemate New Definition by a nose in a thrilling finish to the Listed Spring Cup at Lingfield in March.  Indeed, the horses ran consistently all season long finishing the year with 41 winners, over half a million pounds in prize money and a strike rate just shy of 20%.  Royal Aclaim was touched off by just a neck in the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York and more recently, Mount Athos was just a short head away from glory in the Listed Prix Luthier at Deauville.  However, what is most exciting are the dark horses waiting to be unleased in 2024.

The likes of Mount Athos, Regal Empire and Flying Frontier remain in training but they are joined by exciting novice winners Majestic Warrior, United Approach and Electric Storm.  In addition, there are a handful of unraced horses that having been showing up well at home – perhaps look out for Smart Hero and The Amazon.

Exciting times ahead…
