Sir Michael Stoute To Retire At The End Of The 2024 Season<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Based at Newmarket, Sir Michael Stoute<\/strong> has called time on his glittering career as a horse racing<\/a> trainer – saying that the 2024 season will be his last.<\/p>\n

Stoute, who will be 79 on 22nd October, delivered the news on Tuesday 10th September via a statement to the PA news agency which read.<\/p>\n

“I have decided to retire from training at the end of this season.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I would like to thank all my owners and staff for the support they have given me over the years. It has been a great and enjoyable journey.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Stoute Saddled His First Winner In 1972<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Having sent out his first winner in 1972, Sir Michael Stoute has been a regular name for UK horse racing punters for over 50 years and trained many winners – including six Epsom Derby successes.<\/p>\n

His first career winner was a horse called Sandal, who was owned by Stoute’s father and won at Newmarket racecourse.<\/p>\n

Stoute’s first English Classic win came in 1978 when Salinia won the Epsom Oaks. A race he went onto take once more in 1987 with Unite.<\/p>\n
