Harry Eustace

Harry Eustace is the son of James Eustace, who held the training licence at Park Lodge Stables on Park Lane, Newmarket from 1989 until 2021, when Harry took over the reins. A graduate of the University of Edinburgh, Eustace served a lengthy apprentice with the likes of Lee Freedman and Peter Snowden in Australia, Chris Wall and Jeremy Noseda in Newmarket, Christophe Clement in New York and Willian Haggas, back in Newmarket, before saddling his first winner in his own right, Coverham, who landed a gamble when comfortably winning a mile handicap at Yarmouth on April 20, 2021. Eustace, then 32, said afterwards, “I’ve said it to a few people recently that getting the first win would be the hardest and that was just fantastic.”

Eustace adding another 13 winners to his seasonal tally in 2021 and subsequently saddled 24, 26 and 24 winners on British soil in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. He trained his first Royal Ascot winner, Docklands, in the Britannia Stakes on June 22, 2023 and the following January expanded his operation into Highfield Stables on Bury Road, Newmarket, formerly occupied by Saeed bin Suroor under the auspices of Godolphin.

Royal Ascot 2025 turned out to be a hebdomas mirabilis or, in other words, a wonderful week, for Eustace. On June 17, in the opening Queen Anne Stakes, he saddled Docklands, ridden by Royal Ascot debutant Mark Zahra, to a nose victory over former St. James’s Palace Stakes winner Rosario, thereby collecting his first Group 1 prize. Lo and behold, three days later, Eustace was back in the winners’ enclosure, courtesy of Time For Sandals, ridden by Richard Kingscote, who was drawn on the unfavoured far side, but belied odds of 25/1 to win the Commonwealth Cup by a neck, for his second Group 1 victory.
