David Menuisier talks Marcus Townend through some of the stable's big hopes for the new Flat season.
The momentum that David Menuisier has generated in his career is reflected in his largest ever string of around 90 horses for the 2025 Flat season.
That is quite a leap considering that for much of last season there were 55 horses in his Pulborough stables in West Sussex where Guy Harwood trained greats like Dancing Brave, Kalaglow, Roussillon and Warning in the 1980s.
Thirty one domestics winners and over £1.3m in prize money were both career-bests and it could have been even better had Tamfana not been an unlucky fourth in the 1,000 Guineas.
She still managed to bag a group one prize – the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket – while Menuisier secured Classic success abroad with Devil’s Point in the German 2,000 Guineas.
They both return alongside Sunway, the 2024 Irish Derby runner-up and St Leger third, with all likely to have international campaigns.
Menuisier’s patience has paid dividends and he will not be rushing over 40 two-year-olds in his care which include two owned by ex-Leeds United and Brighton & Hove Albion footballer Georginio Rutter.
‘‘I never really followed football but now I watch every match,’’ Menuisier joked.
