Based at Chestnut Tree Stables, on the Hamilton Road in Newmarket, Jack Jones is one of the newer additions to the training roster, having saddled his first winner, Chagall, in a lowly Class 6 handicap at Chelmsord, in November 2022. That said, he served a lengthy apprenticeship, at home and abroad, under the tutelage of the likes of Kim Bailey, Paul Nicholls, David Simcock and Richard Spencer, before starting out on his own.

Jones holds a combined licence and, having saddled just a single winner on the Flat in his inaugural campaign, upped his seasonal tally to 25 winners, from 130 runners, at a highly creditable 19% strike rate, in 2023. That season he amassed £171,307 in total prize money and, in 2024, his nine winners from 79 runners have already yielded £91,280. Over jumps, Jones drew a blank, albeit from just three runners, in 2022/23, but in 2023/24 has already saddled four winners from just 18 runners, at a 22% strike rate, and collected £46,251 in prize money.

Thus far, big race victories have proved elusive, but considering he began his career at the age of 27, making him the youngest trainer in Newmarket, with ‘two very cheap and very average horses’, Jones has made more than satisfactory progress. Very much a dual-purpose trainer, he remains on to keep an eye on.
