5 Of the Most Successful Racehorse Trainers in the UK

A talented racehorse trainer can bring out any horse's potential and give him the best chance at doing well on the track. He or she also makes sure the horses are healthy, sound, and in good condition for racing. In the UK, five of the most successful racehorse trainers are Jonjo O'Neill, Nigel Twiston-Davies, Paul Nicholls, Ferdy Murphy, and Jenny Pitman.

Jonjo O'Neill started his career as a jockey where he won over 900 races. His intimate knowledge of racing strategies has led him to become a very successful racehorse trainer, and since 1986 he has trained countless winners on the track. Recently, Wichita Lineman won at Cheltenham. O'Neill consistently produces good results and has trained over 100 winners in a season multiple times.

Nigel Twiston-Davies specialises in National Hunt racing. He has been a trainer since 1981 and has since trained over 1000 winners including the well known Imperial Commander. He has also trained two Grand National winners, Earth Summit and Bindaree.

Paul Nicholls also specializes in National Hunt racing where he has trained over 1500 winning horses and won four Cheltenham Gold Cups. Since he began training in 1991, he has received the British Jump Racing Champion Trainer award four times. His stables are located in Ditcheat, Somerset, and he is known for being friendly and honest.

Ferdy Murphy is another highly successful racehorse trainer who consistently trains over 60 winners in the National Hunt season. He has been successful at Cheltenham and Aintree and has trained many notable winners including Lantartique, Joes Edge, and New Alco. Murphy is located in North Yorkshire.

Jenny Pitman became the first woman who trained a Grand National winner in 1983. Jenny is now retired, and while she still attends some races, she has also pursued writing novels that often have a racing component. She received the Order of the British Empire for her efforts in horse training, and she has since served as a role model for young women aspiring to be talented racehorse trainers.

All of these trainers know their horses exceptionally well and have a sense of which training methods and regimens are the most effective for each horse. The significant amounts of time that they have spent in the industry ensure that they will quickly train each new horse to race as best it can. New racehorse owners will find that placing their horses with these trainers is a highly worthwhile investment.

If you have a passion for horseracing and wish to have further involvement then a racehorse trainer can provide you with the crucial next step towards racehorse ownership.

Hot Trainers - Spotting Conditioners That Are Ready To Go On A Winning Streak

Betting on horse races, like all gambling and most other things in life, is streaky. We've all experienced the ups and downs of wagering. It's a roller coaster ride. One week you're ahead and the next week you're down. Horse racing handicapping isn't for the weak hearted or those who cannot keep their eyes on the prize and ignore temporary setbacks.

The fantasy of making a steady income from betting on the races is a nice one, but in reality, grinding out a steady living just doesn't happen for most people. On the other hand, there is hope once you understand the cycles and your own performance.

In any business there are up and down cycles, so why would it be any different in speculating on horse races? It isn't. Since it is cyclical, however, you can prepare for it and even use that knowledge to your advantage. Let's look at how you can start to minimize losses and maximize profits.

First of all, you must look closely at your own betting and understand what you are betting on and why. Do you play more maiden races? Are you a stakes race specialist? Are most of the races that you play for three year olds? Do you follow trainers and jockeys and focus on their horses? Each one of these questions will give valuable clues to your own wagering and what cycle to expect.

For instance, let's say you follow a trainer whose specialty is turf races. Some trainers do better at certain tracks than others. You may follow a conditioner who does great with his or her horses on the lawn at Saratoga, but who is only marginally good at Gulfstream Park. Obviously, you're not going to do great in the winter, but you will probably make up for it in the summer when they are racing at the Spa.

Some trainers who do well with maidens will have a fresh crop that they start at a certain time each year, perhaps in April, but because that conditioner doesn't usually win first time out, he may not produce wins until May or June. When a trainer is on a hot streak, there is a reason that usually is based on his or her favorite or home track, the age of the stock, and training methods. Learn those three things about any trainer and you will start predicting streaks and cashing in on them, too.
