Sir Michael Stoute, one of very, very few in the game befitting of the title, ‘Racing Legend’.

The Aga Khan Studs extend their heartfelt wishes to Sir Michael Stoute for a long and fulfilling retirement. The horses he trained for H.H. the Aga Khan from 1978 to 2006 included the legendary Shergar, whose record-breaking 10l victory in the 1981 Epsom Derby remains unmatched.

“Sir Michael Stoute is one of the greatest-ever British trainers, at the top of his profession for 50 years. He is exceptionally able to get that little bit extra out of every horse he trains, of which the best Juddmonte example was Workforce. His style is unique: his passion obvious and infectious.” Douglas Erskine Crum, CEO Juddmonte

How is racing in a situation where the breeding industry has never been more focused on speed and yet the standard of the sprinting division in Europe is absolutely dire.

Maybe the worst ever. Cheap speed at 2 that doesn’t train on? Something is very wrong.
