Richard Jaques

Richard describes himself as ‘incredibly lucky’ to have spent a large chunk of his working career in and around horse racing. Over the years he has worked in PR and Sponsorship roles focussing on some of the biggest racedays in the UK and also had a lengthy spell at The Jockey Club overseeing Marketing for Epsom Downs, Kempton Park and Sandown Park Racecourses. Away from work Richard puts himself through the mill following Sunderland AFC and Durham CCC and for added stress an occasional round of golf.

Jamie Snowden

Jamie has trained over 350 winners and is lucky enough to have already trained two Cheltenham Festival winners. Jamie nurtured a passion for racing from an early age, through Pony Club, hunting, and then riding in Point-to-Points. Whilst at school, he rode out for Nigel Twiston-Davies, and during his gap year he worked as an Assistant Trainer for a flat yard in New Zealand. Jamie loves most sports and is also an Arsenal football fan and can often be found at the Emirates with his family when not racing.

Barry Brennan

Barry has been involved in racing for over 50 years and enjoys breeding horses as well as training them. If not in the yard, he can be found with his son Tom – a Team GB speedway champion – or catching up with daughter Ellie when she is back from university. Barry has a keen interest in boxing and is also a passionate supporter of his partner’s livery yard.

Charlie Pike

Charlie developed a passion for horses at a young age through show jumping and hunting. It didn’t take him long to show an interest in horse racing and that prompted him to take his first job at local trainer Jimmy Fox’s stable. He is now working full time as a pupil assistant to Barry Brennan while also under the close eye of Jamie Snowden, who continues to mentor Charlie and oversee his professional development on his quest to be a successful horse racing trainer.
