John Hills trains 50 horses in Lambourn with the help of some of the best facilities in England. Since taking out his Trainers license in 1987 John has trained nearly 500 winners including stakes winners in six different countries.

Riding
Raised in a racing environment, John had his 1st success in the 1976 Newmarket Town Plate aged 16, staged over 3 3/4 miles, in fact his mount Matinale was probably a bit of a good thing, she went on to win the 1977 Ascot stakes, but the result was the same, J W Hills was hooked.

Two years later and with a couple more Amateur wins under the belt John left school and took his first job in racing with Edward O'Grady at killeens in Tipperary. The stable had just lost the gifted Golden Signet but there was plenty of talent around including Jack Of Trumps, So, Mount Rivers,Flame Gun and Drumlargon.
