Meet our Team & Trainers
Olly Murphy
NH Trainer
Olly has a first-class setup at Warren Chase stables, situated just outside Stratford-Upon-Avon. He has trained over 400 winners in a very short career to date and is sure to be a champion trainer of the future.
PTR are delighted to team up with Olly so early in his training career.
Gay Kelleway
Flat Trainer
Gay trains out of Queen Alexandra Stables, based in Exning, Newmarket. She has a small operation of only 30 horses, enabling her to give all horses the time and attention they need and deserve, helping them reach their potential.
