Freddie, Martyn Meade Unite Under Manton Banner

Freddie Meade will join his father, Martyn, on the trainer's license under the umbrella of Manton Park Racing. Technique (GB) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}), entered to run in the G3 Cazoo Princess Elizabeth S. Derby Day, will be the first runner for the new training partnership. Freddie has served as an assistant to his father since 2014.

“I have grown up around horses and ridden from an early age. Training has always been the ultimate goal.” said Freddie. “I look forward to us being able to use traditional methods of training at Manton but appealing to a wider audience through utilizing modern techniques.”

The operation has undergone extensive renovations to both the yard and the gallops, which have been restored and fully irrigated. The father and son operation, which is aiming double the number of horses they have in training to fill the yard with a capacity for 100 horses, plan to be active at the yearling sales.
