Ed Walker
Ed has trained over 400 winners and has had a stakes winner every year since taking out his licence. The quality of his string has gradually improved over the years and he finally got that elusive Group 1 winner when Starman won the July Cup in 2021.
In 2022 Dreamloper landed the Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp, followed by the Group 1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, becoming Ed's first dual Group 1 winner. Ed loves to travel his horses and has trained stakes winners in France, Germany and Australia as well as gaining some important black type with fillies in North America.
Ed is an experienced horseman with a hands on approach to training. He prides himself on communication and getting to know his horses, staff and owners. Not from a racing back ground but brought up riding, he caught the bug early on thanks to his parent's passion for horses and racing. Educated at Radley College, Ed knew from an early age that training racehorses was what he wanted to do. His apprenticeship started at Watership Down Stud and took him to Australia and France before coming home to work for Roger Charlton followed by Luca Cumani whom he was assistant to for four years. Like both Roger and Luca, Ed has an individual approach to training and prides himself on placing his horses in the right races.
