Trainer David Lanigan, who has trained over 100 winners in Lambourn since relocating there from Newmarket in 2011, will move his bas to the state-of-the-art Rathmoy Stables in Newmarket at the end of the current Flat season.
Among the winners to emerge from Lambourn are Main Sequence (Aldebaran), the 2012 G1 Epsom Derby runner-up who shifted to the U.S. to become that country's champion turf male and champion older horse of 2014; and Interception (Ire) (Raven's Pass), the 2015 Wokingham H. winner.
“It's fantastic news that we have managed to secure the lease on Rathmoy,” said Lanigan, referring to the move back to the newly refurbished yard previously occupied by Neville Callaghan and his son Simon, now a successful trainer in California. “The work that has been carried out there is really truly magnificent. There are 78 boxes and superb facilities so it couldn't be much better. I'm hugely excited by the move. We've had a great time at Kingsdown which is a wonderful yard and are grateful to Mr Nielsen for his support over the years. What I also like is that is that the yard is at the top end of the Hamilton Road making access to Bury Side so much more convenient. I hope to be there for many years to come.”
Lanigan will be returning to his roots in Newmarket, where he also previously worked for the late Sir Henry Cecil. He also trained from nearby Revida Palace for over four years.
Added Alan Cooper, racing manager to the Niarchos Family, “We are delighted that David has leased such a fantastic yard in Newmarket and we wish him well. The Niarchos Family has always been pleased to support David.”
