Charlie Hills
A numerous Group 1 and Classic winning trainer in his own right, Charlie is the perfect gentleman, and we’ve enjoyed his company and got to know him well. We are delighted to welcome him and his team at Faringdon Place to our ranks.
After leaving school he went to work in Australia for Colin & Peter Hayes. On his return to the UK he then spent two years with James Fanshawe as assistant Trainer. On returning home the rest of his education was spent working under his father before taking over the licence in August 2011.
Less than two years after taking the helm at Faringdon Place, Charlie trained his first classic winner when Just The Judge won the Irish 1,000 Guineas. She was swiftly followed by European Champion two year old filly and Breeders Cup winner Chriselliam. In recent years more top class horses have emerged including two European Champion sprinters in the shape of Muhaarar and Battaash, plus Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Phoenix Of Spain.
