About George
Since saddling his first runner in 2019, George Boughey has sent out over 400 winners, firmly establishing himself as one of the leading flat trainers in the country.
George is a Classic winning trainer based at Saffron House Stables in Newmarket, who has enjoyed successes at Royal Ascot, as well as sending out numerous Group and Listed winners both in the UK and overseas.
‘I have been very lucky to have assembled a fantastic team at Saffron House; I work with great people – head lads, work riders, vets, farriers, ground staff, and an expanding office. Ultimately this is what has enabled us to grow.’
Prior to taking out his trainer’s licence at the age of 27, George acquired considerable first-hand experience of the racing industry; initially within the bloodstock sector and then during a spell in Australia, where he joined Gai Waterhouse in Sydney before working for Lloyd Williams in Melbourne. On his return to Newmarket George spent six years as Assistant Trainer to Hugo Palmer.
Having started out with just four horses in his care, George has gone from strength to strength as a trainer. The operation has grown substantially since 2019, seeing winners and success across all levels on the track. He landed his first Classic winner on 1st May 2022 with CACHET staying on gamely to take the QIPCO 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket.
