Stabling & Training Facilities

There are no training facilities available at Ascot Racecourse. Horses visiting from abroad must be trained away from the track.

The International Racing Bureau (IRB) is available to give advice on stabling options and will assist you finding a temporary home for your horse, that best suits your needs. They have facilitated stabling at many well-known yards including The National Stud, Roger Varian’s Carlburg Stables, Charlie Hills’ Faringdon Place and Charlie Fellowes’ Bedford House Stables. NEWMARKET

The home of UK horse racing with equine facilities that are second to none worldwide, has been by far the most popular choice of temporary home for visiting trainers.

Access to the many and varied gallops in Newmarket is straightforward. The gallops cover an area of approximately 2,500 acres (1,000ha) and provide 50 miles (80km) of turf gallops and canters as well as 15 artificial tracks totalling some 13 miles (21km). The gallops are owned by Jockey Club Estates, and managed by Nick Patton.

Overseas winners temporarily based in Newmarket have included Little Bridge (HK), Choisir, Takeover Target, Miss Andretti, Scenic Blast, Black Caviar (AUS), Lady Aurelia and Campanelle (USA).

LAMBOURN

Set on the Berkshire Downs with its varied gradients and centuries old downland turf, Lambourn has become known as the ‘Valley of the Racehorse’.

Jockey Club Estates has owned and managed the Lambourn Training Grounds since 2006. First class facilities include 600 acres of maintained training grounds, 8 miles of turf gallops and 7 miles of artificial tracks.

Winners Nature Strip (AUS) and Tepin (USA) were stabled in Lambourn, at Faringdon Place and Kingsdown Stables, during their stay.
