Bought for 35,000gns. Winner of a Group 2 at Royal Ascot. Runner-up in a Group 1. Then sold on for a small fortune. That is the story of Rogue Millennium, and it tells you almost everything you need to know about Tom Clover.
In a town where seven-figure yearlings change hands every autumn, Tom Clover has built a reputation for doing the opposite. He finds value, then turns it into black type on the biggest stages in the sport. For anyone dreaming of owning a racehorse with a genuinely up-and-coming Newmarket trainer, that matters.
This is a look at who Tom Clover is, how he keeps outpunching his budget at the sales, and how you can own a share in one of his horses through a Tom Clover syndicate with Hambleton Racing.
Who is trainer Tom Clover?
Tom Clover is a Group-winning flat trainer based at the historic Kremlin House Stables in Newmarket, the home of British racing. He is widely regarded as one of Britain’s most upwardly mobile young trainers, with well over 100 winners already to his name and Group success at Royal Ascot and abroad.
He is also refreshingly hands-on, the kind of trainer who knows his owners and makes time for them. That fits the Hambleton way perfectly.
From his first licence to Kremlin House
Tom began training in 2017 before moving to Kremlin House Stables in 2019. It was a statement move. The yard sits perfectly within Newmarket, equidistant from the famous Limekilns gallops on the Bury Side and the huge expanse of gallops on the racecourse side, with its own paddocks and an indoor ride.
Working alongside Tom is his wife Jackie, and she brings racing in her blood.
A yard steeped in history
Jackie is the daughter of the legendary trainer Michael Jarvis, who saddled big-race winners from these very same boxes for decades. From Kremlin House, Jarvis sent out the winners of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the 1,000 Guineas, the Oaks and many a Royal Ascot winner.
Jackie grew up watching first-hand what it takes to run a first-class training operation. Now Tom is writing his own chapter in the history of the famous yard. When you visit as an owner, you are walking through genuine racing heritage.
What big races has Tom Clover won?
Tom’s record is built on quality rather than quantity, a select team of horses that consistently perform above their price tag. A few names stand out.
Rogue Millennium, the Royal Ascot Group 2 story
Rogue Millennium is the headline act. Bought for just 35,000gns, she developed into a Group 2 winner at Royal Ascot, taking the Duke of Cambridge Stakes, before finishing runner-up in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown.
Her story did not end on the track. She was later sold at Tattersalls for 1,650,000gns, one of the great value tales in recent Newmarket memory. A share of prize money on the racecourse and market value at the sales ring are exactly the kind of factual ownership benefits that make Tom’s horses so appealing, though no result is ever guaranteed.
Tabletalk, Al Nayyir and a growing black-type record
The value theme runs deep. Tabletalk, a 24,000gns buy, gave Tom his first runner in the Epsom Derby in 2024, then went on to win the prestigious Melrose Handicap at York’s Ebor festival.
His international runners have shone too. Rogue Lightning, a 42,000gns breeze-up purchase, travelled to Qatar and landed the Group 3 Dukhan Sprint in 2025. Add regular success at Glorious Goodwood and Newmarket’s July meeting, and you have a trainer making his mark right across the calendar.
Why Tom Clover is a shrewd play at the sales
Ask most people what wins big races and they will say money. Tom Clover keeps proving that judgement matters more.
Group horses on a sensible budget
Time and again, Tom sources quality horses on a sensible budget and improves them into festival performers. A 35,000gns filly winning at Royal Ascot. A 24,000gns colt running in the Derby. A 42,000gns sprinter winning a Group race in Qatar. That is not luck, it is an eye for a horse.
It is the same skill that has defined Hambleton Racing for more than two decades, and it is why we place horses with trainers like Tom. Just as Karl Burke has turned Middleham bargains into winners, Tom does the same from Newmarket.
What that value means for owners
For owners, buying well at the sales is the foundation of the whole experience. A horse bought shrewdly has a lower purchase price, which keeps your share affordable, and a genuine chance of holding or growing its market value.
You still get the same race-day thrill whatever your horse cost. But there is something special about watching a bargain buy stride into the winner’s enclosure, knowing the team found something others missed.

The ownership experience with Tom
Ownership with Tom Clover is wonderfully personal. Our owners are always assured of a warm welcome at Kremlin House, from stable visits and mornings on the gallops to owners’ days at the yard. Tom and Jackie make time for the people behind their horses.
And when your horse is declared to run, you will not need to go looking. The moment it is confirmed, the Hambleton team lets you know directly, so you always have plenty of notice to plan your day at the races. In Tom’s own words, Hambleton’s syndicates are professionally run and a great team to work with.
