Top Horse trainers are the linchpin of the racing world. To hone the talent for being aware of a horses every physical and mental need in order to bring it to its full racing potential is no easy task.

Part science (perfecting exercise programs, diet and more), part art (those undefinables that come with developing a full knowledge of an area), the top horse trainers really do know how to get the very best out of their horses.

Along with the right breeding and the best jockey on board, having a world class trainer onside is a must for any horse owner wishing to succeed in the sport of racing in huge races like the Derby, Royal Ascot, Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National. A horse trainers ability to manage horses and build up their familiarity with people and confidence to race is a skill that’s as rare as it is valuable.

The likes of the in form Michael Appleby, Willie Mullins, Lucinda Russell and Paul Nicholls are in 2024, and have been at the top of their game for an age now, in fact Appleby is currently the most successful / best flat trainer this very season (with Dan Skelton the best National Hunt trainer).
