George Boughey
Location: Newmarket. Despite only taking out his licence in July 2019, after six seasons with Hugo Palmer as assistant trainer, George Boughey has risen to the limelight in rapid fashion, saddling over 300 winners.
Our own Cachet’s emphatic win in the 1000 Guineas in 2022 not only confirmed Boughey as a truly talented trainer for us, but also cemented his reputation as one of the most talented young trainers in the UK. His handling of Via Sistina, the runaway winner of the Curragh’s Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes (2023) only served to further highlight George’s ability to compete at the very highest level.
George has continued to have brilliant success for Highclere in 2024, with multiple Group and Listed level victories at the Curragh, Saint-Cloud, and Royal Ascot.
It is fantastic to have George on our team of trainers, and from his Newmarket base at Saffron House, we feel there are many more exciting times ahead for this talented rising star.
