Kevin Ryan

Trainer

Firmly established as one of Britain’s best trainers, Kevin started from scratch in 1998, and wins Group races with incredible consistency.

Kevin’s particular genius lies in unearthing Group-winning horses for bargain prices at the yearling and breeze-up sales.

Kevin has won scores of big races, registering over half a century of Pattern race wins, including:

  • The Grey Gatsby – Two Group 1 wins (French Derby & Irish Champion Stakes)
  • Glass Slippers – Three Group 1 wins (including Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint)
  • Emaraaty Ana – Group 1/2 winner (Sprint Cup & Gimcrack Stakes)
  • Hello Youmzain – Group 1 winner (Diamond Jubilee, Royal Ascot)
  • Atomic Force – Group 2/3 winner (Prix Robert Papin & Prix Du Bois)

Atomic Force (pictured above) proved a huge success story for our Kevin Ryan horse racing syndicates.

Bought for just £22,000, he won two Group races and was sold on to race abroad, providing a massive profit for his owners.

Glass Slippers is just one of Kevin’s many Group 1 winners and made history when becoming the first European horse to win the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.

Royal Ascot is often regarded as the pinnacle of British Flat racing and Kevin has a fine record at the meeting and regularly wins big Saturday handicaps like the Ayr Gold Cup, too.

Kevin’s outstanding eye for a horse explains his many big sales race wins with horses bought for £40,000 or less, reminding us of Kevin’s ability to source a quality bargain for our northern horse racing syndicates.

Our owners have enjoyed many memorable days alongside Kevin on the racecourse. Great fun to be with at the races, Kevin has been training winners for Hambleton’s horse racing syndicates for nearly 20 years.

Kevin’s will to provide our owners with big wins and memories that last a lifetime remains as great as ever.
