Roger Varian
Location: Newmarket, Suffolk. Roger Varian has settled quickly into the new surroundings at Carlburg stables, bought recently from Clive Brittain.
Roger has invested heavily in refurbishing the yard, bringing it bang up to date in terms of equipment such as an equine treadmill which is rapidly becoming a standard piece of kit in trainers yards. He has also built the smartest reception room in Newmarket to welcome owners.
An excellent communicator, Roger has earned a reputation for his patient handling of his horses, so far this season having trained over a hundred winners (with over £2,000,000 in prize money) with a highly impressive strike rate of 21%!
He trains at the highest level, recently sending Teona to win the Prix Vermeille (Group 1) at Longchamp.
