The jumps season 2023-24 was another record-breaking season for the yard. Sarah achieved a win strike rate of 20% (ranked joint 10th in the Racing Post list of the top 100 trainers) and, for the fourth season running, achieved a strong increase in prize money (over 65% up on the previous year!). With her small string, Sarah consistently outperforms expectations and achieves remarkable success without having the immense fire-power of “top” trainers. Her winners/runners strike rate in 2023-24 was an amazing 47%, also ranking her in the top 10 on the top 100 trainers’ list.
Sarah’s plan has always been to remain a relatively small, hands-on trainer with no more than a couple of dozen horses so that each of the horses receive her individual attention. Yen Hall Farm provides the ideal base being a working arable and sheep farm of 250 acres in South Cambridgeshire, about eight miles from Newmarket, it creates a relaxed environment for the horses, with plenty of paddocks but with great facilities at home and the superb training grounds in Newmarket just a 15 minute box drive away.
We hope you find this new and updated website informative and should you be interested in the possibility of getting involved in a small but highly successful team Sarah would love to hear from you and be delighted to show you just what Yen Hall Farm has to offer.
We have designed our racing club, Yen Hall Farm Racing, so as to be able to give members all the fun and excitement of racehorse ownership but at a modest fixed fee. We are keen that members have a lot of enjoyment and exceptional value for money. Although this has attracted experienced racehorse owners, it is also ideal for those who are thinking of becoming involved for the first time.
The 2023–24 season was another very good season for the club – despite the difficult and frustrating weather. We have never experienced so many abandoned races! Despite that, we gave the members lots of fun and excitement and a substantial pay-out. We had 17 runs and four wins and six other placed finishes. Between them, the horses won total prize money of over £22,000! We were able to provide each member with a distribution of over £1,100. Surely, this must be the best value racing club in the country! We are very grateful to our loyal club members for joining us and helping us to have such fun.
