Based at the historic Bedford House Stables on the Bury Road in Newmarket, which he purchased from the recently-retired Luca Cumani in 2019, Charlie Fellowes holds a combined training lience, but his emphasis is, with few exceptions, on Flat racing. Having served his apprenticeship with the likes of James Fanshawe, Nicky Henderson and Lee Freedman, he first set up on his own at Saffron House Stables, on the Hamilton Road in Newmarket, in 2014, before quickly moving to nearby St. Gatien Stables, on the Bury Side, en route to his current base some years later.

No stranger to sending his horses to far flung corners of the globe in search of success, Fellowes enjoyed the biggest payday of his career in 2018, when Prince Arron collected £132,596.69 for winning the Geelong Cup at Geelong, in Victoria, Australia. Domestically he has gone from strength to strength in recent years, recording his most successful season, financially, in 2023, when he amassed £718,989 in total prize money. Highlights of the campaign included victories for Grand Alliance in the John Porter Stakes at Newbury and Vadream in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket.

Indeed, Fellowes has carried on the good work in 2024. At the time of writing, he has already saddled seven winners from 31 runners – 15 of whom have also finished second, third or fourth – at a strike rate of 23%, and amassed £78,921 in total prize money.
