Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls Stable Tour

Kim has trained over 1500 winners in his extraordinary career and has been lucky enough to win The Grand National with the record-breaking Mr Frisk, The Cheltenham Gold Cup with Master Oats and the Champion Hurdle with Alderbrook. A very rare feat that only one other current trainer in the UK has achieved.

 Mat Nicholls has been Kim’s assistant for the last 16 years. Born in Nottingham from a non-horsey background he graduated into racing by joining their near now neighbour Nigel Twiston Davies, as a yard person. From there he learnt to ride and became a key figure in the Grange Hill Farm team. Six years later he moved up the ladder and joined another local trainer in Tom George as his Head Lad,  a position he held for a further six years. After joining Carl Llewellyn as his righthand man, Mat then moved to Thorndale.
