In addition to twice winning the Derby, the Gosdens’ tally of European Classic winners includes the 1000 Guineas, the Oaks (x4) and the St Leger (x5), the Irish 2000 Guineas, the Irish Derby and Irish St Leger, plus France’s Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (x2) Prix De Diane (x2) and the Prix du Jockey Club.
Many of the champions that have passed through John and Thady’s hands have gone on to stand at stud as top class stallions.
In addition to the Derby, the Gosdens’ tally of European Classic winners includes:
From California to Clarehaven
A history of success – from California to Clarehaven
John’s first major win came in 1983 when he was training in California. He trained Bates Motel to win the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap and a year later he was victorious with Royal Heroine at the inaugural running of the Breeders’ Cup.
Highlights from the first half of his career following his return to England in 1989 include Benny The Dip’s Derby success (1997), Lahan’s win in the 1000 Guineas (2000) – a victory which gave John his 100th Group winner in Europe – and the brilliant sprinter Oasis Dream winning the July Cup and Nunthorpe Stakes (2003).
His move to Clarehaven Stables in 2007 heralded the start of the most successful phase yet in a remarkable training career. One of the first champions John nurtured and prepared at Clarehaven was Raven’s Pass, who capped a brilliant season with victory in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita (2008).
A stream of notable Group 1 winners followed, including champion filly Dar Re Mi (whose subsequent progeny would include Too Darn Hot) and Nathaniel, winner of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2011) and the Eclipse (2012).
The Clarehaven class of 2014 included four-time Group 1 winner Kingman, Oaks and King George heroine, Taghrooda, and The Fugue.
The Clarehaven class of 2014 included four-time Group 1 winner Kingman, Oaks and King George heroine, Taghrooda, and The Fugue.
However, the results of 2015 would exceed even those of the previous campaign, led by Golden Horn’s victories in the Derby, the Eclipse, the Irish Champion Stakes and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Other notable Group 1 successes were provided by Jack Hobbs and Shalaa.
The momentum and success from those golden seasons has continued through to the present day, thanks in part to two equine superstars of the modern era in Enable, winner of eleven Group 1 races, including two Arcs, an Oaks and a Breeders’ Cup Turf, and Stradivarius, winner of seven Group 1 races, including three Ascot Gold Cups. The pair were ably supported by a succession of champions in their own right; Roaring Lion, Cracksman, Palace Pier, Too Darn Hot, Mishriff, Mostahdaf, Inspiral and Nashwa.
On five occasions John was crowned Champion Trainer in Britain, the first being in 2012, followed by further victories in 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2020. And then in 2023 John and Thady became the first dual licence holders to win the trainer’s title.
