Frédéric Sanchez Stable Focus The journey from dual champion apprentice to Group 1 PA winning trainer has taken Frédéric Sanchez all around the world, and one which is a long way from conclusion.

Born and raised in Aix-en-Provence in France to a family with no racing connections, Frédéric Sanchez's early years were focussed on an entirely different professional sporting career, that of football. He represented his country, and when scoring against Italy at 11years-old, he felt sure that was where his
future lay. However, he failed to grow and was naturally disappointed when it became clear that life as a professional footballer would not be for him. Nonetheless, his small size was to become an asset and it was his father who suggested he become a jockey.
