Michael Dods
Michael Dods Racing is a friendly Group 1-winning racing operation, with a proven track record, based in the picturesque village of Denton, four miles from Darlington.
Michael is a vastly experienced trainer and his career highlights include winning the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York with the great filly Mecca's Angel in 2015 and 2016. He also trained another brilliant filly, Mabs Cross, to win the Group One Prix de ''Abbaye in 2018, and made history in 2022 when Commanche Falls became the first horse in 54 years to win back-to-back Stewards' Cups at Glorious Goodwood.
The stable finished 2025 on the 43-winner mark and we have had 38 winners so far in 2026 with the star being two-year-old Arapaho Gold who is unbeaten in four races, including the historic Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York.
We are hugely grateful to all our owners for their support, as well as the staff who have shown tremendous dedication to keep the stable moving forward.
Denton Hall is a modern training establishment, which is perfectly placed to reach all the northern racecourses, and is close enough to the A1 to also venture further south. We don't mind where we go in search of winners!
Michael is assisted by his hard-working wife Carole, as well as daughter, Chloe, as assistant trainer. They are supported by long-serving Yard Manager Steve Alderson, and one of the industry's most experienced Travelling Head Lads in Kenny Williams, backed up by a dedicated team of stable staff. We pride ourselves on being professional and friendly. |
