Owen Burrows talks Graham Clark through some of the stable's big hopes for the new Flat season.
Owen Burrows has consistently proved since taking out a license back in 2016 that he is the man for the big occasion.
Last season was no different with a quarter of the Lambourn handler’s domestic winners coming at Listed level or above all of which helped him set a new total prize money record in Britain of £1,599,820.
The undoubted highlight of the campaign was Anmaat’s victory in the Group One QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot in October, which was ably backed up by the likes of Nakheel’s success in the Group Two Betfred Park Hill Fillies’ Stakes.
And with the aforementioned pair back for more this year alongside some exciting three year-olds with Classic claims the sight of Burrows featuring on the biggest occasions once again looks like a high probability.
Burrows said: “Last season ended tremendously. We were tipping away pretty pleasingly then came Champions Day and a good season turned into an excellent season.
“We had the filly Raqiya win in America at Del Mar on Breeders’ Cup night and that was a big buzz. It was my best season prize money wise by a nice little bit.
“A few of these three year olds that have won on their only start at two have come out and won. We have a nice bunch of three year olds and a nice few older horses with the likes of Anmaat, Deira Mile, Jarraaf and Nakheel still about.
“The two year olds look a bit more forward than previous years. Hopefully some will be out the first part of May and I like what I have seen so far.”
