Michael Bell – Racehorse Trainer

Michael Bell has been training in the historic yard of Fitzroy House, Newmarket for 35 years. During this time he has trained over 1600 winners and won over c £28 million worth of prize money. He has trained the winner of the Derby (Motivator) and the winner of the Oaks (Sariska), as well as enjoying success at every level, both at home and abroad.

2025 will hopefully prove a successful season as we have a healthy squad of horses to go to war with. We have a strong team of older handicappers who should be able to fly the flag for us in feature handicaps and there is plenty of untapped talent in the three year old department. Our two year olds look a nice bunch and there are some exciting pedigrees amongst them. All in all we are very much looking forward to the season.

We have approximately 80 horses to campaign with which is a healthy number so hopefully we can unearth some talent and give our owners some fun.

The website news page is updated regularly, providing a unique insight into the day to day business of training at Fitzroy House with news on past, present and future runners, along with exclusive pictures from the gallops on work mornings.
