HOME TO GROUP WINNING TRAINER
Charlie Fellowes
Charlie and his team have recorded their best ever year in 2023. In 2022 he tallied up £680,988 in domestic prize-money, the most he had achieved in a season. This year he has yet again surpassed the record, and still has 2 months of the year remaining. Our top earners this year have been Cumulonimbus and Atrium who have both secured some valuable pots. Atrium has been a yard star and concluded his season by winning the £180,000 Howden Challenge Cup. Cumulonimbus was third in the £150,000 Old Newton Cup and won three races this season including the £100,000 Racing League feature at Yarmouth, which is not counted in the trainers prize money table. He was purchased by our sales team for just €50,000 as a breeze up.
The 2023 season kicked off with a bang when the yard recorded three Stakes Race winners in the first two months of the season. At Doncaster, the first turf meeting of the year, Vadream bolted up to win The Listed Cammidge Trophy by 4½ lengths. She has shown a huge amount of speed this season and when dropped back to 5 furlongs for the first time, Vadream won the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket Guineas meeting. At Newbury’s Greenham meeting, Grand Alliance won The Group 3 John Porter Stakes. The son of Churchill has had his quirks, but Charlie has always maintained faith in the horse, that faith was repaid at Newbury when he won comfortably in a hot renewal of the race. Since Newbury Grand Alliance has proved he can stay 2 miles, he did this when finishing a very admiral second to dual Group race winner Sober in the Group 2 Prix Kergorlay. This makes his career going forward very exciting.
