Welcome to Jamie Snowden Racing

Folly House is a historic, charming and picturesque yard in Lambourn. Cheltenham Gold Cup winners have been produced from the yard, and Jamie has been in situ since 2011. The yard has expanded to house over 60 horses, with immediate access to the wonderful Lambourn Gallops which are the finest gallops in the country.  Jamie has trained over 550 winners and is lucky enough to have already trained three Cheltenham Festival winners, numerous Graded and Listed contests, the prestigious Coral (Hennessy) Gold Cup, and Paddy Power Gold Cup.

Another couple of winners in the last week of the season meant we finished the season as strongly as we started it, and the 2025-26 season was another record-breaking season for the team here at Folly House.  We finished the season in 9th spot in the trainer’s championship, with 86 winners, and a brilliant £1,172,495 in win and place prize money.  This was attained with an incredible 25% win strike rate, better than any other trainer in the top 30 in the championship. 

The horses have held their form from start to finish, quite literally as our first and last runners both won.   The highlight was obviously Johnny’s Jury winning the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival, but other big winners included Wendigo winning the Grade 2 John Francome at Newbury, La Conquiere winning a Listed race at the same meeting, Colonel Harry winning the Grand Sefton over the Grand National fences and Only The Bold winning the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter.  A special mention must go to Git Maker who was a gallant 2^nd in the Scottish National, and would surely have won but for slipping on the back of the 21^st fence.  

We keep beating our previous best prize money total and setting ourselves a higher bar to aim for each season.  I am immensely proud of the whole team here at Folly House, the wonderful horses, and all the support we receive from everyone associated with us.
