Trainer William Knight returned to Newmarket in April of 2020 following a successful residence at Angmering Park in Sussex, where he trained over 300 winners, including 2010 Goodwood Cup hero Illustrious Blue.

Rathmoy Stables is one of the best equipped yards in Newmarket with around 80 boxes, its own equine pool, spa, treadmill and covered ride with superb access to Newmarket’s unrivaled gallops.

William has enjoyed considerable success since moving to Rathmoy Stables with Sir Busker providing a first Royal Ascot winner in 2020. 2021 saw the yard record 34 winners and 2022 was a record breaker in terms of prize money with success at Listed, Group 3 and Group 2 level. Sir Busker yet again had a great year, winning a Group 2 and finishing 3rd in the Juddmonte International behind Baaeed and Mishriff. Checkandchallenge was close on his heels winning a Group 3 at Deauville and finishing 4th in the QEII at Ascot on Champions Day in October.
