Donald McCain – Grand National-Winning Trainer
Donald McCain – Grand National-Winning Trainer
When Always Trying Racing Syndicate was founded, one of the first and most important decisions we faced was choosing the right trainer. We wanted someone with an outstanding record, exceptional horsemanship and a proven ability to develop horses capable of winning at every level of National Hunt racing.
For us, that trainer was Donald McCain.
Based at the renowned Bankhouse Stables in Cheshire, Donald has established himself as one of Britain's most respected National Hunt trainers. Continuing the famous McCain family legacy, he has built an outstanding reputation for producing winners, developing young horses and campaigning them successfully at the country's biggest race meetings.
Donald reached the pinnacle of the sport when Ballabriggs won the 2011 Grand National, cementing his place among Britain's elite trainers. Since then, he has continued to enjoy success across the country, saddling winners at many of Britain's most famous racecourses, including Aintree, Cheltenham, Haydock, Carlisle, Bangor, Hexham and many more.
At Always Trying Racing Syndicate, we value Donald's honest communication, attention to detail and unwavering commitment to every horse in his care. His professionalism, experience and exceptional placing of horses give our members complete confidence that every horse is given the best possible opportunity to succeed.
Our members regularly enjoy stable visits, behind-the-scenes access to Bankhouse Stables and the opportunity to watch their horses compete at some of Britain's most iconic racecourses. Sharing these experiences alongside a trainer of Donald's calibre is one of the many benefits of being part of Always Trying Racing Syndicate.
We are incredibly proud to have horses trained by Donald McCain and look forward to creating many more memorable race days, winner's enclosure celebrations and lasting memories together in the years ahead.
