Roger Varian
Roger took over the licence from Michael Jarvis in February 2011 and is one of very few trainers to gain Group 1 glory in his first season when Nahrain won The Prix de L'Opera. Each season has been better than the last for Roger Varian and in 2014 he saddled four Group 1 winners, including Kingston Hill in The Ladbrokes St Leger and Belardo in The Dewhurst Stakes. Roger is not afraid to travel his horses and from the beginning has plundered large prizes abroad with a superb team of older horses as well as juveniles, highlighted in 2016 by Postponed's demolition of a quality field in the Dubai Sheema Classic (Gr 1). At the beginning of 2017 Roger relocated to his new yard Carlburg Stables on the Bury Road.
