  • SUMMER MAGAZINE 2021 INTRODUCTION P ARK HOUSE STABLES Aving Held a Training Licence for Almost Eighteen Seasons I Have Conditioned Myself to Cope with Disappointment
    P ARK HOUSE STABLES SUMMER MAGAZINE 2021 INTRODUCTION P ARK HOUSE STABLES aving held a training licence for almost eighteen seasons I have conditioned myself to cope with disappointment. Even the great HAidan O’Brien generally operates at a strike rate of 20-25% which means that for every victory he has had to cope with three or four failures. So far the 2021 Flat season has been one of very few disappointments, and not even at my most wildly optimistic moment could I have imagined just how many amazing highs we have been lucky enough to enjoy. From the start of this season things have by and large gone to plan, kicking off with two winners at All Weather Champions Day, a Guineas Trial, a Derby Trial and a Yorkshire Cup. Royal Ascot and Goodwood are always at the top of any stable’s ‘to do’ list and the fact that the Kingsclere team were the leading yard at Goodwood and so nearly filled the same position at Royal Ascot is a tremendous achievement. This Above: Masked marvels at Ascot before Alcohol Free’s win is not only due to the privilege of training some very talented horses Front cover: True love – Oisin and the Group 1 Coronation but also testament to the team we have managed to accrue over the Stakes trophy last few seasons. Everyone at Kingsclere has played their part in this Back cover: A triumphant trio – SANDRINE, David and Kathleen returning to the winner’s enclosure after the Group season’s achievements. 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes One of the most satisfying parts of our success is that the wins have come for a wide variety of owners.

  • World's Top Races of 2017 Dominated by Champions
    WORLD’S TOP RACES OF 2017 DOMINATED BY CHAMPIONS SERIES CONTESTS Four QIPCO British Champions Series races were today named as being among the top ten run anywhere around the world last year with Cracksman, the emphatic winner of the QIPCO Champion Stakes on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot in October, rated the top horse in Europe. The announcement was made at the Longines-sponsored World's Best Racehorse and World's Best Horse Race Ceremony in London this afternoon which saw QIPCO British Champions Series races account for almost a quarter of the world’s top 100 races of 2017. The King George VI & Queen Elizabeth at Ascot in July, sponsored by QIPCO, was rated the top race in the UK and the second best race in the world in 2017, while the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot, the Juddmonte International Stakes at York, and QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot all also made the top ten (jointly rated 7th in the world). Thrillingly, Cracksman, rated the world’s third best racehorse courtesy of his seven-length demolition of the field in the QIPCO Champion Stakes on Britain’s richest raceday, remains in training in 2018 along with his stable companion Enable (rated 5th). Her 2017 Series’ triumphs included the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth (sponsored by QIPCO), the Investec Oaks and Darley Yorkshire Oaks, before landing the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and there is the exciting prospect of the pair clashing in the 2018 QIPCO British Champions Series. In addition to the John Gosden-trained pair, a further three horses who lit up the 2017 QIPCO British Champions Series make the world’s top ten, including Ulysses (rated 6th), who won the Coral-Eclipse and subsequently landed the Juddmonte International, together with the Godolphin stars of Harry Angel (rated equal 7th) and victor in the 32Red Sprint Cup and Queen Anne winner, Ribchester (equal 9th) who also make the top ten of the World’s best horses.
