James Fanshawe Stable Tour

Newmarket's historic Pegasus Stables opens its doors to attheraces.com, with the yard nearing a half-century of winners and £1 million in prize money for 2026.

James Fanshawe has once again been ticking away quite nicely in his search for winners. He has enjoyed 42 successes in 2026 so far with £772,994 in prize money which suggests that the magical £1 million barrier may be breached again this time around.  

The Pegasus Stables trainer is only one away from last year’s total with £859,436 in the kitty and had previously seen his current stable star Kind Of Blue take him to a haul of £1,577,127 in 2024 when making the major contribution of £283,550 when landing the Group 1 British Champions Sprint at Ascot in October of that year.

The Wathnan Racing-owned horse showed he had lost none of his spark when runner-up to Elmonjed in the Group 2 Minster Stakes at York in May and wasn’t discredited when unplaced behind Almeraq in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.

Kind Of Blue’s campaign is being geared to another attempt at the Champions Day Sprint at Ascot but there have been plenty in the stable making healthy contributions too.

Tom Fanshawe, assistant to his father, said: “winners will get you so far, but when they reach their mark you are wondering where the next top-class horse is going to come from. We just have to keep working away waiting for that to happen.

“We will firstly be trying to get to that landmark total of 50 winners and £1 million in prize money and if that happens then it’s always a good year.  We have some wonderful and supportive owners in the yard, and we will be doing our utmost to hit the target.”

Tom kindly talked to Tony Elves of attheraces.com about the team at their Pegasus Stables in Newmarket.
