Chris Thornton..

..has called time on his career as a racehorse trainer, a career which started back in July 1977 and ended on October 31st 2010. During that time Chris sent out almost 700 Flat and National Hunt winners. He also served as chairman of the Middleham Trainers' Association for 14 years and is a former National Trainers' Federation council member.

A dwindling number of horses and a reluctance to hustle for owners led to his decision to retire at the age of 62. Having spent all his working life with Thoroughbred Racehorses he is keen to remain in the sport and utilise the wealth of experience he has acquired.
Chris says "If anybody wants a top-class racing manager I'm the man!"
