Clarehaven Stables
Horse racing stable in Suffolk, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clarehaven Stables is a thoroughbred horse racing stable built next to the Bury Road in the horse racing town of Newmarket.[1]
It was built early in the 20th century and became home to some of the best-known thoroughbreds to have raced on British turf, beginning with the exceptional filly Pretty Polly, who won the Triple Crown in 1904 and went on to win 22 of her 24 career starts. The stables were later bought by the businessman and philanthropist Sir David Robinson in the 1960s, after which it became the base for his successful racing operation.
It is now a base to racehorse trainer John Gosden, a British flat racing Champion Trainer, who has trained Breeders' Cup Classic winner Raven's Pass, Derby and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Golden Horn, St. James's Palace Stakes winner Kingman, Dubai Sheema Classic winner Dar Re Mi, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Eclipse Stakes winner Nathaniel, Irish Oaks winner Great Heavens there, and many others.
Some of the most celebrated horses to have been trained at Clarehaven in the decade since include Enable, who won eleven Group One races including two Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe victories. Enable secured back-to-back Arc triumphs in 2017 and 2018, and also captured the 2018 Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs, becoming the first horse to win both the Arc and the Turf in the same season. Other champions of the recent decade include Stradivarius, a three-time Ascot Gold Cup winner, the brilliant miler Inspiral, and multiple Group One winners Cracksman, Roaring Lion and Mostahdaf, and the globetrotting Mishriff, winner of the Saudi Cup and Dubai Sheema Classic.
