Trainers

William Muir  

Having been born at Fawley Stud, William has spent his entire life with horses. Now entering his 18th year of training, with almost 300 winners; these include Group success with AVERTI (IRE), who won the King George Stakes (Group 3) at Goodwood, MATERIAL WITNESS (IRE), who won the Bunbury Cup, and ENFORCER, winner of the Darley Stakes (G3) in 2005, was placed in Group 1 races and earned over £300k in prize money.

Stuart Williams  

Stuart started training in 1993. His first winner was Greenback at Lingfield on March 5th 1993, and he has since gone on to train winners at all the flat racecourses in Britain, a goal achieved in July 2003 when Magic Mistress won at Ascot. In 2004 he equalled his best year when he trained 32 winners and also moved to the excellent Diomed Stables.

His most successful horses include Concer Un, winner of ten races, including the Bradford and Bingley Rated Stakes at York's Ebor meeting twice; Ayunli, winner of nine races; Lunar Leo, a winner at Sandown and Chester and runner-up at Royal Ascot; Prince Cyrano, Group placed in France, and Sendintank, winner of ten handicaps in 2005. Hogmaneigh's flying finish in the exclusiveprices@bluesquare.com Handicap at Sandown on August 26th brought Stuart his twentieth winner of the 2006 season and carried on the yard's current good form.
