Fildes To Manage Highclere Northern

[Wandering Eyes]

Jason Fildes will take up the role of syndicate representative of Highclere Thoroughbred Racing’s three new Northern Division syndicates. Fildes joins Highclere after four years as general manager of Haydock Park Racecourse.

The three syndicates under Fildes’s management are named after celebrated northern artists. They are the George Stubbs Syndicate, after the artist of great equine paintings such as ‘Whistlejacket’; the David Hockney Syndicate, after one of Britain’s most influential modern artists; and the Antony Gormley Syndicate, after the creator of the ‘Angel of the North’ sculpture. Horses in these syndicates will be handled by northern trainers Mark Johnston, Richard Fahey and Tom Dascombe.

“I am extremely excited to launch this new northern focused initiative for Highclere with three new syndicates,” said Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Chairman Harry Herbert. “These syndicates will race in 2019 and will be trained by three very talented northern-based trainers, including the recently crowned most winning trainer of all time. I am also delighted to welcome Jason Fildes to our management team as we begin this new chapter at HTR. He is extremely well-placed and experienced to manage our horses and work closely with the trainers to ensure continued success for our owners.”
