Chris Dwyer back....6.05 Newc

Tattcorner, well spotted , hope you got the fancy prices.

Johnny Hon has bought Phil Cunningham's old stables at Newmarket and moved all his horses from Dunlop,Kelleway and Cox. He has installed Dwyer as his trainer

wouldnt be the worst move,if i had horses i doubt id place them with the aforementioned

Thanks swifty, got the price but just a small bet.

Thanks also Mr C, I didn't know about the move of Cunningham's horses.
I hope Chris does well.

id imagine what the owner wants to achieve, whatever his intents and purposes,would be easier managed under one stewardship.

Yes Phil Cunningham bought Sefton Lodge on The Bury Road

Newmarket's Global Group Racing operation set for first runner over Christmas

Ambitious Newmarket training venture Global Group Racing are set to send out their first runner at next Monday's twilight fixture at Newcastle.

The former Ed Dunlop-trained Global Warning is being lined up to get owner Johnny Hon's 'boutique' operation, which is being fronted by veteran trainer Chris Dwyer, underway just a month after they moved into their new premises.

The four-year-old Global Warning, who won once and was placed five times for Dunlop, will head north off a workable mark of 73.

Hong Kong businessman Hon previously had his team spread between Dunlop, Clive Cox, Harry Fry and Gay Kelleway but has spent more than £1 million on the 23-box Albert House Stables in order to centralise his team.

Dwyer, 72, originally quit the training ranks two years ago after a gallops accident to concentrate on managing horses owned by his original owners, but is looking forward to the new challenge.

Hon's two best horses have been the sprinter Global Applause, who won two Listed races, and Global Giant, who scored at the same level before being sold privately and is now in training with John Gosden.

Global Group Racing have 12 in training at Albert House, including youngsters by Caravaggio and Iffraaj, and hope to make an impact when the Flat season proper gets under way in March.

Tim Hide, racing manager to Hon and assistant to Dwyer, said: "Albert House has a perfect location as it is just a stone's throw from Warren Hill and is a very historic yard and an ideal location for our boutique operation.

"Hopefully, Global Warning can run a nice race for us first time and we have a few more for the all-weather before we really get going in 2021."

Veteran Chris Dwyer has been tempted out of retirement to front a new 'boutique' training operation called Global Group Racing that is being set up in Newmarket by Hong Kong businessman Johnny Hon.

A 71-year-old former jockey, Dwyer originally quit training two years ago after a gallops accident to concentrate on managing horses owned by his original owners.

Then training out of Brickfield Stud off Newmarket's Hamilton Road, Dwyer has been tempted out of retirement by Hon to take the licence at Albert House Stables which the owner is in the process of purchasing for his Global Group Racing operation.

Dwyer said: "I'm very excited to be rejoining the training ranks. I felt that the opportunity was too good to turn down and I can't wait to get back on to the Heath."

The 23-box facility, which had a price tag of £1.35 million with agents Windsor Clive, was refurbished to a high standard by previous owner Phil Cunningham as part of his Rebel Racing operation which has since decamped to nearby Sefton Lodge Stables.

Hon, who has had his horses spread between Ed Dunlop, Clive Cox and Gay Kelleway in recent years, is now to centralise his operation at Albert House much as Cunningham did before him.

Hon said: "I'm delighted to once more be increasing my involvement in the British racing industry. Horseracing is a big passion of mine and in such turbulent times I believe it's important we strive to support and protect the industry.

The owner had over 30 horses in training in 2019 and is now down to just a handful, but is keen to increase his interests.

He added: "By launching Global Group Racing we will create new employment opportunities and draw in newcomers from the UK and beyond, further increasing international ownership and investment in the sport."

The new venture may have its first runner on the all-weather next month, but the idea is to hit the ground running in 2021 according to Hon's racing manager Tim Hide, brother of former trainer Philip.

Hide said: "We are set to get the keys to Albert House later this week and we can't wait to get this exciting venture off the ground.

"Chris hopes to start with around 15 horses including yearlings we bought at Tattersalls and Arqana. The plan is for me to start off as assistant to Chris with a view to possibly taking the licence eventually if everything works out.

"Albert House has a perfect location as it is just a stone's throw from Warren Hill, and is a very historic yard and an ideal location for our boutique operation."

Many thanks Mr C...I'm catching up quickly
