Kevin Frost
Based, since April 1, 2024, at a state of the art training facility at Averham Park Farm, near Newark, Lincolnshire – a lovely area not far from the likes of the market town Stamford – Kevin Frost holds a combined licence, but it would be fair to say that his emphasis is on Flat racing. A former conditional jockey, he spent 12 years at the National Horseracing College, formerly the Northern Racing College, in Doncaster, ultimately becoming Training Manager. Thereafter, Frost served as assistant trainer to Ian Woods, Alan Swinbank and Ian Williams.
Frost saddled his first runners, in his own right, in 2013. His inaugural Flat season was limited to just four runners, without success, but the 2013/14 National Hunt season did yield two winners from 16 runners, at a strike rate of 13%, and a modest £9,438 in prize money. Under National Hunt Rule, Frost has yet to saddle more than eight winners in a season, which he did in 2018/19. Nevertheless, his biggest single success, so far, came when Surf And Turf sprang a 33/1 surprise in the Grade 3 Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree in 2015.
On the Flat, Frost his most successful season, numerically, in 2022, when he saddled 15 winners from 66 runners, at an extraordinary strike rate of 23%, and amassed £104,207 in prize money. Although saddling few winners in 2023, 10 from 122 runners, he upped his prize money total again to £123,361.
