Newmarket supremo's yard should be among the big winners once again this season
John Gosden has trained more winners of QIPCO British Champions Series races than his counterparts in each of the past three seasons. He will not be short of candidates to continue his stranglehold in 2021.
Gosden enjoyed eight Series wins last year, having chalked up 11 in 2018 and a dozen in 2019.
The one surprise is that he did not saddle a winner on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot in October. Stradivarius and Palace Pier fluffed their lines in their respective races at cramped odds. Mishriff, Lord North, Nazeef and Meydaayih were other big hopes for him on Britain’s richest raceday but none managed to deliver.
