OUR STORY

Jeremy and Camilla trained point-to-pointers together for 15 years on their 370-acre dairy farm in Somerset, starting with first runner in 2. To better understand jockeys, Jeremy rode a few himself and celebrated his first hunter chase victory in May 2001 with County Derry at Stratford. More wins followed until 2007, when he obtained his professional license. His first winner under Rules was a novice hurdle in May with a pointer named Gone To Lunch, who went on to win two more races.

A year later, after selling the dairy herd, they expanded their facilities to accommodate more horses, including a 300-meter schooling ring connected to a three-and-a-half furlong strip. Jeremy achieved 24 victories with 34 different horses. The yard is family-run, with daughters Laura and Georgina contributing to its growth. After a spinal injury ended her eventing and race-riding career, Laura has managed the yard for the past five years, focusing on racing while also competing in dressage and para-dressage. Georgina recently returned after working with notable trainers, bringing new methods to enhance the yard.

Gone To Lunch won five point-to-points and had a notable career over hurdles, narrowly missing victory in the Sefton Novices' Hurdle at Aintree. After battling pleural pneumonia, he made a triumphant return at Wincanton in 2011. Jeremy achieved his first Grade One success with Melodic Rendezvous in the Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown in 2013, and Golden Ace secured his first Cheltenham Festival win in 2024. In 2016, Jeremy obtained his flat license, with Unison winning two races at Sandown that August. Since then, Miss Minuty, Pride Of Nepal, and Celtic Art have also enjoyed multiple flat victories. Dashel Drasher has been a standout performer, winning the 2021 Grade 1 Ascot Chase and finishing second in the 2023 Stayers Hurdle.

The 2023/24 season marked Jeremy's first Cheltenham Festival win with Golden Ace, celebrated by cheers of 'Jezza, Jezza, Jezza' in the winners' enclosure! 12 months later, the chanter's had recruited to welcome Golden Ace as the Champion Hurdle heroine into the winners enclosure after one of the most dramatic races at Cheltenham!
