Insole goes it alone after splitting with Newland

Jamie Insole has confirmed that he is to train from his own base in Lambourn, bringing to an end a successful partnership with Dr Richard Newland.

Insole joined Newland on the licence in December 2023 and the pair have enjoyed close to 150 winners.

“Following recent reports and the decision to restructure the training operation at Urloxhey, I can confirm that my training partnership with Dr Richard Newland will come to an end next month,” said Insole on social media.

“I am immensely proud of what we have achieved over the past two and a half years. From a standing start, I established and developed the Flat operation at Urloxhey alongside a fantastic and hardworking team, and together we have enjoyed some memorable successes.

“Across both codes, the partnership has produced 141 winners worldwide.Highlights have included Witness Stand’s victory in the Group Two Lennox Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, as well as Dividend’s two victories in Dubai and subsequent second in the Group Two Singspiel Stakes. Those achievements have enabled me to establish myself as a Group Two and international-winning trainer.”

He went on: “I will always be grateful to Richard for giving me the opportunity to begin my training career within the partnership. Establishing yourself as a trainer in Britain is no easy task, and that opportunity provided an invaluable platform from which to build the Flat string from the ground up.

“It has always been my ambition to establish my own training business and build an operation that reflects my own vision. Jess (Stafford, partner) and I are now in the advanced stages of finalising a lease on a state-of-the-art yard in Lambourn, with excellent facilities and access to some of the best gallops in the country.

“Although the move to our new Lambourn base has always been planned for later this year, the partnership at Urloxhey will now come to an end beforehand, creating a short interim period before I am able to begin training under my own licence. Our focus now is firmly on ensuring that transition is managed as smoothly as possible for our owners, staff and horses.”
