Tom Ellis

Tom Ellis has dominated the Point-to-Point racing circuit for several years. After riding nearly 120 winners in Point-to-Points, he then embarked on the journey into training. Starting with around eight horses in 2015, he has quickly displayed his training abilities,
winning the Trainers’ Championship five times annually since 2019.

He has been by far the most successful British Point-to-Point trainer over the last five seasons, saddling almost 300 winners. To add to this, he also holds the record for most Point-to-Point winners trained in a single season: 71 winners from 159 runners, boasting an impressive 45% strike rate.

Tom’s prowess is not limited to Point-to-Point races. Since 2018, he’s had 18 winners from 48 runners in Hunter Chases, translating to a 37% strike rate. Undoubtedly the most notable of his winners under rules came with Latenightpass winning the Aintree Foxhunters Chase in 2022, bred by his mother Pippa Ellis and stylishly ridden to victory by his wife Gina Andrews.

Tom’s knowledge and experience in the equine field have been collected through many years working in the core of the industry, starting at just 16 when he first rode as an amateur jockey. The expertise that he has been able to develop has allowed Tom to acquire an unparalleled acumen in identifying and developing young horses. His ambition is limitless, and he has plans to replicate his Point-to-Point yard success in professional, under-rules racing.
