Team LRS | Lancashire Racing Stables

The Team

We are extremely lucky to have a hard-working team here at LRS. Without their dedication we wouldn't have happy, healthy horses which in turn leads to winners.

Stella Barclay

Trainer

A horsewoman of distinction and great experience, Stella is the trainer at LRS having served as an assistant under Bruce Hellier (2011 - 2012), Richard Ford (2012 - 2017), and Mike Hammond (2018). She was granted her licence in May 2018.

A lifetime spent breeding, rearing, riding and caring for horses and thoroughbreds gives Stella an excellent grounding for heading up Lancashire's top racing yard. She rode as an amateur rider under Rules and successfully trained point-to pointers, hunter chasers & Arab racers before embarking on her lifetime ambition to become a racehorse trainer.

Tony Culhane

Trainer

Tony is the legendary former top flat jockey who rode almost 2,000 winners in 6 different countries in a career spanning more than 28 years. Tony rode a host of big race winners in Group & Listed company as well being successful in big handicaps such as the Northumberland Plate and the Ayr Gold Cup.

For Tony a lifetime's involvement in the sport all started off with what he describes as the perfect grounding as an apprentice with Reg Hollinshead when he was 15 years old. He learned the kind of stable craft and equine husbandry that is now perceived as gold dust. Tony went on to ride for some of the best names in the sport William Haggas, Barry Hills, Mick Channon and David Chapman to name a few learning his trade along the way.
