Gavin Cromwell is a trainer with a difference. Gavin started like many as a stable lad with ambition and drive.
(11)
A farrier by trade having shoed Olympian, Gold Cup and Grand National winning horses he took out a Training licence in 2005. His farrier skills are a passion and trade that he is still very much relied upon for by some of the biggest operations in the sport we all love. Experience gained abroad in Australia and at home with the likes of the late and great Dessie Hughes have stood to him when striv
ing for excellence and that shows in his operation and the results achieved. Ever since Dodder Walk landed his first success inside the rails it’s been a wonderful journey with high profile winners under both codes of flat and jumps racing. With a handful of horses given Gavin’s trademark attentive care then landing a 100k Irish Cambridgeshire with Sretaw at the Curragh or back to back Grade 1 hurdle events with stable starlet Jer’s Girl will not have surprised those that know Gavin and his team.

🏷️For sale🏷️ Ampeson, a new recruit for us, was claimed in Leopardstown on the 16th of August. This 5 time winner recorded his highest racing post rating of 96 when winning a competitive handicap in Dundalk last December. He recently finished an unlucky third on the turf in Fairyhouse to Mister Matt (second in a 100,000 premier handicap on next start) and he looks well handicapped on turf off his mark of 73. He looks like he should be a fun horse who will be ready to run in the coming weeks. 5% and 10% shares are available but don’t wait to long as they’ll soon be gone. 🔴Breakdown🔴 •Initial payment •5% ownership 550 •10% ownership 1,100 •Regular monthly training fees apply and all prize money will be shared between owners.
