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.

Shades of May

2020   Brown   Gelding

by Mayson (GB)  ex  Shades of Silk (GB)  ( Bahamian Bounty (GB) )

The Mark Usher Racing Club Owner:  The Mark Usher Racing Club

By the July Cup Winner and highly successful sire, Mayson, out of a winning Bahamian Bounty Mare, this gelding had a delayed start to his career on the track, the core reason being that he has a slightly dipped back that made him difficult to place commercially.. He came to us in the Summer of 2024 as an unraced four year old; after quite a low key introduction to the track, over seven furlongs at Kempton in October, we ran him in a completely different environment on really easy ground over five furlongs at Bath; as the video shows he put up a really progressive performance running on powerfully close home after being slightly held up to finish third; the closest at the finish.

We are really pleased with him; he is not expensive and he should win races once we get him into Handicaps
