Welcome to Mark Usher Racing!

I have been training racehorses since 1983 and I am now based in Rowdown Stables, Upper Lambourn, a modern, purpose built, Yard with 30 Boxes with easy access to the superb Lambourn Gallops. We moved into Rowdown on the 1st January 2016 and you can see something of the excellent facilites we have here. My team and I work hard to do the best for our horses and to achieve success and enjoyment for our owners; I pride myself on high standards and attention to detail.

Visitors to the yard are always welcome! You can keep uptodate with the latest news from Rowdown by clicking this link and you can see our immediately upcoming Entries and running plans by clicking here and then selecting 'Entries'.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Unamed Two Year Old Filly by Massaat out of Bird for Life


Bird For Life was a stalwart for our yard for seven consecutive Seasons; from 84 racecourse starts she won 12 times and was placed 26 times, a win & place strike rate of almost 41%, a tribute to her soundness and durability. If you follow this link you will be able to see her quite astonishing performance to win at Wolverhampton in October 2022 coming from a quite impossible position to win decisively.

Her sire, Massaat, was a high class racehorse who ran second in the 2000 Guineas of his year and who later was to win Newbury’s Group 2 Hungerford Stakes; he showed his consistency by finishing second in the Group One Dewhurst Stakes, a Championship race for Two Year Old colts.

We are looking forward to this Filly showing the attitude and consistency of her mother combined with the brilliance of her sire.

Unamed Two Year Old Colt by Massaat out of Bird to Love

We bred this colt and are pleased that he will be in training here at Rowdown.

His sire, Massaat, was a high class racehorse who ran second in the 2000 Guineas of his year and who later was to win Newbury’s Group 2 Hungerford Stakes; he showed his consistency by finishing second in the Group One Dewhurst Stakes, a Championship race for Two Year Old colts.

Bird To Love was in training with us at Rowdown: she won four races at distances between 10 and 12f and she was placed on numerous other occasions; she is closely related to a Black Type winner in the USA. If you follow this link you can see her winning decisively at Lingfield in October 2020.

The stud where he has been brought up have always liked him and have done an excellent job with his development.

I should be pleased to show you both horses working on the Downs virtually any morning Monday through to Saturday.
