Bahrain's Victorious Racing Hires Jackson-Stops
Description:
Victorious Racing, a leading Bahraini horse racing brand founded by H.H. Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, announced today the appointment of Billy Jackson-Stops as the team's Racing Manager.
Victorious Racing's rise on the international scene was underlined in 2024 with a series of superb successes. Last season Bradsell (G1 Nunthorpe Stakes, G1 Flying Five Stakes) and Isle Of Jura (G2 Hardwicke Stakes) carried Victorious Racing's increasingly familiar red and white silks to high-profile triumphs.
Isle Of Jura was sourced and bought by Jackson-Stops, who established JS Bloodstock Consultancy in 2018 after working as an assistant trainer to Ralph Beckett and Godolphin in Australia.
With this new appointment, Jackson-Stops will be leading the team and link in with all of Victorious Racing's trainers, supporting the vision for the brand that has already led to horses competing in Britain, Dubai, Bahrain, France, and the USA.
Jackson-Stops, 35, said: "It is a great honour to have been appointed by His Highness Shaikh Nasser to serve as racing manager of Victorious Racing.
"His Highness, and the Kingdom Bahrain, are big supporters of British horse-racing, as has been shown in recent seasons here. I'm very excited to be joining such a dynamic global sports brand and am looking forward to working with everyone within the Victorious Racing team."
