Marcus Tregoning

Since February 2013, Marcus Tregoning has been based at Whitsbury Manor Stables in Whitsbury, near Fordingbridge, Hampshire. That is, of course, the yard at which David Elsworth trained Desert Orchid, but, while Tregoning holds a combined licence, his emphasis is firmly on Flat racing, with ‘black type’ and heritage handicaps at the top of his agenda. Indeed, he spent 14 years as assistant trainer to William Richard ‘Dick’ Hern, before succeeding ‘The Major’ at Kingwood House Stables in Lambourn in 1998.

Tregoning saddled his first Group 1 winner, Nayef, in the Champion Stakes at Newmarket in October 2001 and has since added seven more to his career total, including Sir Percy in the Derby at Epsom in June 2006. After a lengthy hiatus, his most recent victory at the highest level – and his first since Sir Percy – came courtesy of Mohaather, in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in July 2020.

Tregoning enjoyed his most successful campaign, numerically and financially, back in 2003, when he saddled 56 winners from 260 runners, at a strike rate of 22%, and amassed £1,3687,277 in total prize money. In recent years, though, he has been nowhere near the same level, with no more than 27 winners in any of the last ten Flat seasons.
