Trainer Simon Crisford is planning to lease Gainsborough Stables in Newmarket from Darley, the first time in more than decade it will be an active training yard, Racing Post reported on Wednesday. The 99-box yard was used as a pre-training enterprise by Darley after trainer Ed Dunlop left in 2009. Gainsborough will also be the third training location at Headquarters for Crisford, who began at Carlburg Stables, before leasing his current yard, Kremlin House.
“I'm planning to move across Newmarket to Racecourse Side in the coming weeks, where I will be leasing Gainsborough Stables from Darley,” Crisford told Racing Post. “I would like to thank Gay Jarvis for allowing us to rent Kremlin House when we needed somewhere after Carlburg. We've had a wonderful time at the historic and beautiful yard and had lots of success.
“Gainsborough Stables had become surplus to requirements for the Darley pre-training organisation and this is a great opportunity for my horses, my owners and staff. I'm very excited about moving over there and to my mind the grass gallops on Racecourse Side are the best in the world. We're very familiar with the facilities over there as we've been using them for the past two seasons and we're looking forward to the next chapter.”
