A big big thank you to everyone who has been part of a thoroughly successful 2022-23 season for BPR. Ending the season with 80 winners is a huge achievement. We are incredibly grateful to our owners, our team, supporters and of course our horses for making this our best season to date.
Congratulations to Luca Morgan - Champion Conditional Jockey 2022-23. This is a phenomenal achievement and very well deserved.

We were delighted to welcome the Wales & West Midlands Thoroughbred Breeders' Association to Naunton Downs on Thursday. It was a spectacular Spring Cotswold's morning with the sun shining.
A brilliant turnout from the breeders, a sell out morning in fact. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all and hearing about current foals, youngstock and plans for prospective matings you have in store. Exquisite sausage rolls & pastries by The Cotswold Guy Thanks to the MS Borders Racing Club for coming to visit today!
A real pleasure to show you around our Naunton Downs yard - weather turned it on & lunch at the Fitzdares Club rounded off the morning perfectly. “The MS Borders Racing Club was established in 2004 and is the brainchild of Rhona Elliot MBE who had to retire from being a professional trainer due to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. We are a fun and friendly syndicate with the main objective of having fun racing and also raising awareness of the MS Society UK & Scotland (our horses run in the MS Society’s colours).” LEARN MORE: https://www.inthepaddock.co.uk/.../ms-borders-racing-club/ Thank you for choosing us as part of your annual trip! That’s 80 winners for the season!
Well done team, what a great achievement. A big thank you to all of our owners, team & supporters. Norley under Beau Morgan, broke his Chase Maiden at just second attempt.

It's a bittersweet Monday here at Naunton Downs as we say a fond farewell to the incredible Le Breiul.
Le Breuil (Anzillero) has been with us since 2016 so we will all miss his smiling face over the stable door. In this time, he achieved eight wins from thirty-five starts including the National Hunt Challenge Cup A/R Novices’ Chase Gr.2 at the Cheltenham Festival. A huge thank you to Le Breuil’s owner, Mrs Emma Palmer for entrusting us with this very special chap. Wishing him a very happy next stage from all the team here at BPR.
