George Baker Racing are moving to Downs House, Epsom Downs, Surrey, JANUARY 2025

Seventeen 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 500 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 Bahrain, 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.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "Downs House is about getting new owners. Going to Newmarket or Lambourne is a long way on a Saturday morning. Here owners can get on a train - watch their horse on the gallops - have a bit of breakfast and then be home before their children are awake!"

    George Baker
  • “We really enjoy doing something different in racing. Going out to Bahrain with the family brought a different aspect to race horse ownership that you don't normally get. I think what appeals to us is the vision and energy that the Bakers have and the unique experience they create."

    Mark Tracey
  • "To own horses is a very fortunate thing to do. To have one that's locally connected to Goodwood – it's amazing. You dream that you can get the camaraderie, the people that love racing. George Baker and his team put in lots of hard work that we don't see, so all credit to them."

    My Race Horse & Partners
  • “Get It” is obviously the stand out horse for our syndicate. He wins in Bahrain, wins in the Racing League and then just to cap it all wins the Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood. That was a joy for me after 30 years of trying to get a Glorious Goodwood winner – and the Baker's delivered it.”

    Mark Tracey
  • "Downs House is a massive opportunity for owners. On a Saturday morning it's only 20 minutes from London. It's right in the centre of all that the Derby represents. I wanted to make Downs House state-of-the-art and it just snowballed!"

    Mark Travers
  • "There's a bit of the gambler in Candida and we thought if we don't take on Downs House then someone else will. What an opportunity."

    George Baker
  • "As we got closer to Down's House we thought wow this is impressive. The position and stableing are incredible. It's been so exciting to have been with George and Candida for the last 12 years but this is a serious upgrade. There's a great future here in Epsom for GBR. The more people who get involved the better because they're going to have so much fun."
