Scott Dixon

Scott Dixon officially has his main yard at Southwell Racecourse, near Rolleston, Nottinghamshire, to which he relocated in 2019, and operates a satellite yard at Wolverhampton Racecourse in the West Midlands. However, his Southwell yard was flooded during Storm Babet in October 2023 and, again, in January 2024, so shuttling his horses back and forth to his Wolverhampton training facility has been high on his agenda in recent months.

Dixon first took out a training licence in his own right in December, 2011, having previously worked with the likes of Mark Polglase, Jeremy Glover, and the late David ‘Dandy’ Nicholls. He was initially based at the family stud farm, Haygarth House in Babworth, near Retford, Nottinghamshire, before taking over the training facilities at Southwell Racecourse eight years later.

Dixon holds a combined licence, but his emphasis is almost exclusively on Flat racing and, specifically, on Flat racing on the Tapeta surfaces at Southwell and Wolverhampton. He does have one ‘black type’ victory to his name, courtesy of One Night Stand in the Hever Sprint Stakes at Lingfield in February, but Southwell, where he has saddled 113 career winners, and Wolverhampton, where he has saddled 46 more, remain by far his happiest hunting grounds.
