Jonathan Jay

Racehorse Trainer

Jonathon Jay Racing is run under the watchful care of Jonathan Jay. In a relatively short period of time Jonathan has emerged as one of the most promising new trainers in England. Jonathan was instructed in the art of training racehorses by two legendary figures of training in France and England.

Chantilly's Myriam Bollack-Badel, multiple Group 1 winning trainer provided Jonathan with the bedrock of this training experiences. After returning to England, Jonathan became assistant trainer to Newmarket's Dave Morris, trainer of Lady Tavistock's Bay of Islands. Dave gave Jonathan new insights into how to translate the best of what he had learned abroad to the demanding rigours of Newmarket Heath.

Before embarking on his training career Jonathan conducted indepth research into the ideal training methods and environment used around the world. From trainers in England such as Henry Cecil, Mick Channon and Mark Johnston, he also visited training establishments in the USA and Europe on his quest to find the best for his charges.

Jonathan has also been a very successful owner and breeder of racehorses. His knowledge of bloodstock is invaluable when selecting horses to be trained. He has an eye for selecting undervalued horses that have the ability and potential to perform at the highest level.

Jonathan's first winner was bought out of a well respected Newmarket yard for only £3,200. Although it had not won in over 2 years Jonathan believed that a small change in its training programme would revive the horse's career. Three weeks after the sale, first time out of the yard, the horse won - at odds of 20-1.
