Hugo Palmer has been a licenced trainer since 2011, and he trained his first Classic winner in 2015 when Covert Love was victorious in the Irish Oaks – and that was the same year he won £1 million in prize money for the first time. In March 2022, Hugo moved from Newmarket to Manor House Stables, the state of the art training centre owned and founded by former England footballer, Michael Owen. Hugo’s first season in Cheshire was crowned by Brad The Brief’s Group 2 Greenlands Stakes win, and 2023 has seen Coral become the official sponsor of the Manor House team.
