George Boughey's Dream Start

Newmarket trainer George Boughey is celebrating the first anniversary of his stable with a great run of form.

When working on a plan for a new business 12 months ago, few would have set out contingencies for a global pandemic. Fortunately for George Boughey, who this month celebrates his first anniversary as a Newmarket trainer, the shutdown of racing between mid-March and the beginning of June brought only a brief hiatus to the promising start made from when he saddled his first winner on Aug. 13.

Boughey has taken over at Saffron House Stables since the move of the aforementioned George Scott, and it was also the original yard of Charlie Fellowes, who last year moved his increasingly large string to Bedford House Stables, the former home of Luca Cumani. Clearly, Newmarket, despite its competitive backdrop in being the base of some of the biggest stables in the land, can also work as an ideal starting point for young trainers.
