Andrew Crook Racing: Training Facilities

After starting training in his own right, Andy began at Oakwood Stables in Middleham town centre. He moved his team to Ashgill Stables in July 2002

Ashgill Stables is part of the historic Tupgill Estate, at Coverham on the outskirts of Middleham. The quiet surroundings are ideal for the horses to relax and enjoy themselves.

Estate owner Colin Armstrong has invested time and expense over recent years renovating the estate and part of this work has been to develop Ashgill Stables into a modern, purpose-built 25-box yard. The success of Andrew Crook Racing led to the construction of seven more boxes.

The yard is ideally placed for both Middleham's Low Moor gallop and the High Moor gallop too and the facilities available to Andy in and around Ashgill Stables enable him to have his horses at peak fitness for their racecourse appearances.





In July 2011, Andy began installing a horse walker to further improve the facilities available to him and the racehorses in his care.

Stable Staff:

Every racehorse trainer needs good staff to make their yard successful and Andy is no exception. He is ably assisted by a dedicated team which includes his wife Jackie who runs the office and helps out in the yard.
