Eleven years after taking out a licence to train, the move to Sussex is a closing of the circle for George, who was brought up in the area. After renting two of the most famous yards in the land at Whitsbury and then Manton, George and Candida purchased Robins Farm in May 2017.

Colin Weedon, Peter Winkworth and Olly Stevens have all trained with great success from the property, with winners at the highest level and around the globe.

George has trained over 400 winners, including a Royal Ascot winner with Belgian Bill. There have been several pattern successes both here and abroad, and GB Racing horse boxes are often seen on continental motorways. “Have horse, will travel” is very much a mantra for the team. And has been rewarded with winners in Dubai, Turkey, Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and on the Channel Islands. And runners have performed with credit in the USA, Scandinavia and Spain.

George and Candida adopt an “open house” policy. So please give us a call, come and see what we are doing, and join in with our success.
