Laura Morgan Racing

Laura Morgan is a successful racehorse trainer based in Waltham-on-the-Wolds, on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir.

Laura has been involved in racing for most of her life. She is the daughter of former trainer Kevin Morgan, who incidentally had probably his most successful spell as a trainer whilst based in Waltham and using the same gallops that Laura now uses.

After assisting her father for several years , Laura then had a spell as travelling head lass for neighbouring trainer Chris Bealby at Barrowby. 

Laura was then awarded a Racing Scholarship and chose to spend her 6 months of learning with legendary Australian handler Peter Moody. During her time down under she helped with the preparation and training of the amazing “Super Mare” Black Caviar.

On her return from Australia, Laura took up a fantastic position as Travelling Head Girl for Jonjo O’Neill at Jackdaws Castle. Whilst in Gloucestershire, Laura made many friends and forged excellent contacts throughout the world of racing. Laura was responsible for preparing and turning out many big race winners at The Cheltenham Festival, Aintree and all the other big National Hunt meetings.

After 4 years at Jackdaws Castle , Laura took over the Trainer's Licence from Chris Bealby and after a brief spell at Barrowby, moved the string back to the family home at Foxfield Stud, Waltham-On-The-Wolds where things have gone from strength to strength and the winners are flowing !

Laura has assembled a hard working and loyal team to support her in her hectic training schedule. Brother Tommy is the yard Farrier. The yard has a very strong team of talented work riders led by Lizzie Harris, who previously used to train a small but hugely successful string of point to pointers and now is very successful in the Retraining of Racehorses events. The rest of the team is made up of Conditional Jockey, Lewis Dobb, Amateur Jockey’s James Robottom, Emma Stewart, Ellie Mayo, Alice Coleman and Menna Bridger. Lukas Payne is our yard worker.

Behind the scenes, binding everything together is Laura’s Mum, Carol who does anything and everything from box driving to babysitting……. Carol certainly keeps the team in order! 

Laura's sister Kelly Morgan is also in the training ranks with a successful Point-to-Point and Pre Training yard. Our Honourary assistant trainer is Niece Olivia.
