Jack Channon Stable Tour

The new supremo at West Ilsley Stables aims to emulate his father by lifting the season’s traditional curtain-raiser, Saturday’s Lincoln Handicap.

Jack Channon has made a bright start to his training career after taking over the licence from his father Mick at the start of the year.  

He has trained with four winners from a small team of runners on the all-weather, but the campaign begins in earnest for him with the start of the turf season at Doncaster on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Racing.   

Nothing would give the rookie trainer great pleasure than emulating his father who landed the Lincoln Handicap with Johan 12 months ago and he has a live contender in Majestic who helped sign off Channon senior’s illustrious career in great style when triumphant in the Cambridgeshire Handicap at Newmarket last September.

“I think I’ve got a lovely bunch of horses and fingers crossed all goes well,” Jack said. “It wouldn’t be a bad start if Majestic could win the Lincoln, he is ready to go and we will give it our best shot.”

Jack kindly talked to Tony Elves of attheraces.com about his main hopes in his maiden season.
