As the nights have drawn in and we look towards the closing of another year it gives us the chance to pause and reflect on what an incredible year 2024 was. In his first season with a Flat string, James mounted a concentrated effort to saddle 36 individual horses to land 57 races in this code alone. With a further 63 placed efforts, the prizemoney has currently reached over £600,000 for the year on the Flat.
Star performer of the season goes to The Gredley Family juvenile WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE who claimed the Gr.2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket in September by an impressive length and a half. From the second crop of KAMEKO, the dual-winning colt has not finished outside of the frame, including places in the Gr.2 Superlative Stakes and Gr.3 Acomb Stakes, as well as finishing third in the Gr.1 Futurity Trophy Stakes at Doncaster before being put away for the season.
In his first season handling two-year-olds on the Flat, James also guided a further four two-year-olds to victory and will be eagerly awaiting their return to the track for their three-year-old campaigns.
