Trainer George Baker is opening a satellite yard in Bahrain. Baker, whose horses have won on both the Flat and over jumps, has saddled winners in France and St Moritz, as well. The second annual Bahrain International Trophy, hosted by the Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club, is set for Nov. 20.
“We are hugely excited at the official announcement of a long-term partnership between the Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club and George Baker Racing, which signals our long-term commitment to horse racing in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and we look forward to the establishment of a satellite yard in the coming months,” said Baker. “We have been very impressed with the commitment and vision of the REHC.
“The quality of the field for the upcoming Bahrain International Trophy is testament to the quality of the racing surface and the facilities on site, and we are excited to become a part of an ambitious and burgeoning horse racing jurisdiction.”
