Training RoR South East & Altano Vets Insight Day with James Owen Racing, CB8 7JQ

Kindly supported by Altano Vets, RoR is delighted to provide a unique opportunity to have a guided tour around James Owen's racing yard in Newmarket, Cambridgeshire, followed by a presentation all about welfare and retraining. 

Have you ever wondered how former racehorses live during their racing career? A Racing Insight Day is your opportunity to find out.

Racing Insight Days are unique opportunities to gain an in-depth understanding of the life of a racehorse, from training to retirement and how they can then transition into a second career. These events provide a great chance to learn about routine, feeding, training and much more, while a horse is on a racing yard.

Summary of the day:
9am James Owen Racing yard and gallops tour
Baker McVeigh vets talk and retraining discussion period at local village hall 
2pm - Depart

James Owen grew up in Oxfordshire in a horse-racing family, developing into a successful amateur jockey with 128 point-to-point wins and nine East Anglian Champion Jockey titles. He founded James Owen Racing in 2014 at Green Ridge Stables in Newmarket, initially specialising in pre-training and breaking before expanding into licensed training.

Renowned for his success in Arabian racing, where he won seven ARO trainers’ titles, Owen secured a full BHA training licence in 2023 and quickly established himself as a leading trainer, achieving over 175 winners, more than £4.5 million in prize money, and a Grade 2 Cheltenham victory with BURDETT ROAD. By 2026, his thriving stable of more than 120 horses is targeting major domestic and international races, reflecting his growing reputation in British racing.

Please bring along your own packed lunch and soft drinks.  A kichen facility and loos will be available for use at the village hall.
