Joe Tizzard

Prior to his retirement from the saddle in March 2014, Joe Tizzard was a highly successful National Hunt jockey with over 700 winners to his name, including four at the Cheltenham Festival. Champion Conditional Jockey in 1998/99, when with Paul Nicholls, he subsequently rode a total of 248 winners for his father, Colin, whom he later succeeded at the family yard as Venn Farm in Milborne Port, Dorset.

Between 1995/96 and 2021/22, Colin Tizzard saddled a total of ten Grade 1 winners, including Native River in the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2018. Tizzard Jnr., who saddled his first runners in 2022/23, has made a highly successful start to his time at the helm at Spurles Stables. His inaugural season yielded 55 winners, including three at Grade 2 level, and just over £1 mllion in prize money, while 2023/24 has proved nearly as profitable.

At the time of writing, his seasonal tally in 2026 is 42 winners from 240 runners, an impressive strike rate, and he has collected £940,000 in total prize money. Recent big paydays include his first Grade 1 winner, Elixir De Nutz, in the Clarence House Chase at Ascot in January 2024, Runswick Bay’s victory in the Grade 2 Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon in 2025 and Rhebus Road claiming the Grade 1 Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown in December 2025.
