I follow Mark’s form closely as we have a couple of horses with him. He has had 16 runners so far this year and has produced 5 winners, 2 seconds, 3 thirds and 4 fourths.
It really is worth giving all of his runners close attention at the moment as they are all clearly in fine fettle.
I remember a couple of seasons ago he was touted as the next big thing, but things went quiet after that. It’s nice to see he has stuck at it and results are starting to go his way again.
He does very well with what at the end of the day are pretty modest horses.
Elopement was one that springs to mind who racked up a sequence of victories last season.I remember a couple of seasons ago he was touted as the next big thing, but things went quiet after that. It’s nice to see he has stuck at it and results are starting to go his way again.
He’s one of those trainers who will only appeal to certain owners as all the money is spent on the horses rather than making the place look pretty.
He had previously specialised in the bargain basement but has realised that the horses at the very bottom are being pushed out of racing so he is trying to slowly improve the quality of the horses he buys. Unfortunately that requires owners with deeper pockets but if his success is publicised I’m sure he will attract them.

What Mark seems to do well is to keep the horses in tip top physical and mental shape. They all spend time in the field and I know that he buys the most expensive feed available even though his training fees are modest compared to many.
Just thought I would give this one a bump as a loyal Brisbourne owner. He has now had 23 out of his 31 runners in the first four so far this year. Considering he only has about seven horses running at the moment it’s a remarkable achievement.
