Since sending out his first runner at the end of 2011, James has already saddled nearly 600 winners to win approximately £7 million of prize money.  In addition, he has now become an established source of Group performers including the stallions Invincible Army, Far Above and Hey Gaman.

2025 was another great season for the stable with three individual Black Type winners.  The year started off with Electric Storm breaking the track record when winning the Listed Lansdown Stakes at Bath in April.  Next, Royal Dress returned to her best when winning the Pipalong Stakes at Pontefract by an eased-down three and a quarter lengths.  Then, AW Champion Cloud Cover, had a glorious swansong, cruising to victory in the Queen Charlotte Stakes at Chelmsford whilst being in foal to the mighty Kingman!

With a total of 56 winners at a strike rate of 22%, there were lots of other highlights.  Mount Athos won the same Class 2 at Kempton for the third year in a row before creditable places in Listed events at Deauville.  Then there were the many promising debut winners for Jaber Abdullah, including He’s Waliim, Lady Kodiac and Time To Take Off – all seriously exciting for this year!  Other great days included Caburn returning to winning ways at Yarmouth and Storm Free storming home at Leicester!

Roll on 2026!
