Daniel and Claire Kübler to Relocate to Bahrain for “Remarkable Opportunity”

[Wandering Eyes]

Daniel and Claire Kübler have announced their intention to relocate to Bahrain later this year.

The Lambourn-based husband-and-wife training partnership has sent out over 130 winners from its Lambourn base, but this move will see the Küblers “scale back” operations in Britain, having been presented with a “remarkable opportunity” to move to the Middle East.

A statement released by Kübler Racing read, “After five successful seasons training under a joint licence from our stables at Sarsen Farm in Lambourn, we have been given a remarkable opportunity to train for His Highness Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa and other members of the royal family in Bahrain, and assist in developing a new training facility.

“The move follows an approach we received from His Highness Shaikh Isa, on behalf of the Royal Stables, who outlined his vision and ambition for racing in Bahrain. It provides the chance to work with an exciting and expanding group of horses, together with an ambitious team of people, contributing to the growth of a racing jurisdiction that is rapidly establishing itself on the global stage.

“We expect to begin training in Bahrain from October 2025, coinciding with the start of the 2025/26 season. In the meantime, our UK operation will scale back with the horses currently in training continuing to be campaigned with the same usual care and attention, ensuring every owner and horse is fully supported during this transition.”

The Küblers added the decision was “by no means easy”, explaining, “We owe thanks to so many owners. Particular thanks to Gary and Lesley Middlebrook, whose commitment and belief in our approach has provided the platform on which Kübler Racing has been built. Their support has been instrumental in developing Sarsen Farm and enabling the yard to reach a level of success that makes this next step possible.

“We would also like to acknowledge the fantastic team of people who have worked together with us, both now and over the years. Their dedication, skill, and care for the horses have been at the heart of everything we have achieved, and none of this would have been possible without their contribution.

“We remain deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us in the UK and look forward to building on those achievements as we embark on this exciting new adventure.”
