Archie Watson

Racehorse Trainer

In just his second full year of training, Hambleton Racing trainer Archie Watson saddled over a 100 winners, won prestigious Group races at Royal Ascot and enjoyed three Group 1 placed runners.

Archie’s huge training talent is well established now. Behind the outstanding results are hard-knocking, impressive facts – Archie’s career strike rate with his two-year-old runners is an incredible 19%.
