Stuart Edmunds, winner of the 2021 Jockey Club “McCoy’s Leading Trainer Award (in the category with less than 40 horses)”, is a racehorse trainer based near Milton Keynes. Stuart’s success is built on his 40 years of experience in the equine business. Recognised within the industry, and especially by his peers, as one of the best “horsemen” currently training racehorses. His apprenticeship with Mr. Peter and Mrs. Renee Robeson laid the base for his year-on-year improvement in winners and prize money. Amongst many winners of major races stands the Cheltenham Festival success in 2017 with Domesday Book in the Kim Muir Handicap Chase and an Aintree Festival double in 2021 with Rowland Ward and Hometown Boy.
Arizona Cardinal's win in the 2024 Topham Handicap Chase over the Grand National fences at Aintree was a major success for the team.

BDR syndicate members have thoroughly enjoyed having their horses with Stuart and his team, Professional yet fun, successful times have been had and we as a group would have no hesitation in both recommending the yard and further strengthening the BDR team of horses with Stuart Edmunds Racing
