William Knight, responsible for over 300 winners from Angmering Park in Sussex, is set to take over the lease at the end of April at Rathmoy Stables in Newmarket, the facility recently vacated by David Lanigan.
“At time when there isn't a lot of great news about, this is incredibly good news for my training operation,” said Knight, who 2010 G1 Goodwood Cup hero Illustrious Blue. “Rathmoy is now one of the best equipped yards in Newmarket with around 80 boxes, its own equine pool, spa, treadmill and covered ride with superb access to Newmarket's unrivalled gallops.”
“The vast majority of our owners have been extremely supportive of the move and I hope to start with around 50 horses.”
“I will leave West Sussex with only fond memories,” said Knight who served as an assistant to Ed Dunlop. “However, this is the next chapter in our lives and I am relishing the opportunity to head back to Newmarket with my family. Like everyone, we are always looking to improve our performance and expand our business and I am confident that the move to Rathmoy Stables can do just that.”
