Tim Vaughan
An established, Grade 1-winning trainer with over 800 winners to date, Tim is as hungry as ever for success.
A former Chartered Surveyor, Tim rode 117 winners between the flags and was Champion Welsh point-to-point jockey, but it is as a trainer that he has found his true vocation and in April 2012 he became the youngest National Hunt trainer to record 100 winners in a season.
Tim has trained Grade 1 winners in the UK and Ireland, as well as enjoying success in the Scottish National.
Eva's Oskar recorded our most recent Graded success at Cheltenham in December 2022 and was running a huge race in the Grand National prior to unseating - hopefully he will be back at Aintree in 2024.
With the backing of a fantastic group of owners and assisted by an outstanding team of staff, many of whom have been with Tim Vaughan Racing since the start, Tim continues to build upon the results achieved so far, assembling an exciting, talented team of young horses for the seasons ahead.
Tim is married to Abbi and they have three children – Ed, Grace and Henry.
