Facilities at Chris Thornton Racing


After working and living at Spigot Lodge for more than twenty years, in 2001 Chris converted a barn at Sharp Hill Farm, Middleham, into a training yard.

The barn was built to his own specification and contains stabling for 26 horses together with all the ancillary components (tack room, office, staff room, etc) necessary for a successful training establishment.

The success of any racing yard relies on team work and Chris is assisted by experienced staff who have remained loyal to him for many years.
