Kate Walton Racing

 

Kate Walton Racing

Kate Walton Racing is a team operation headed by Kate herself, whose family is steeped in racing history, as she is the daughter of Sam Hall.

She took out her licence seven years ago and started with 4 horses. Since then, numbers have increased as you will see when you visit the yard.

The yard is extremely well situated in a tranquil environment on the outskirts of Middleham and is adjacent to the gallops which are accessed via a private track. The yard boasts 60 acres of turn out paddocks providing the ideal setting to revitalize and sweeten up horses.

Although predominantly known for National Hunt horses, Kate does have a dual-purpose training license and has had a winner at York and various other flat tracks in the North.

One of Kate Walton Racing's biggest assets is her team of staff. Kate has built up a team which have a great depth of knowledge and understanding of the horses and racing.
  

Kate's first Graded race winner came when Sitting Tennant won the Champion Bumper at Aintree's 2009 Grand National meeting.

Having been purchased by Kate for £3,000 he was sold for £160,000 to Graham Wylie and Howard Johnson. He will be sadly missed at the yard as he was a lovely horse to be around. 

We wish Graham and Howard the very best of luck with him and hope he continues to be successful at such a high level. 
 

Kate Walton Racing has a group of owners who are always welcome at the yard and are much appreciated by Kate and her staff.
 
Owners are encouraged to be involved as much as they wish to be and a friendly welcome to the yard is guaranteed, making owning a racehorse even more enjoyable!
