Crisford on his way to Highfield Stables

Strong rumours abound around Newmarket that the recently vacated Highfield Stables (it was the third yard of Saeed Bin Suroor before it's closure at the end of August) will soon be filled by Simon Crisford.

And It's expected that all of the horses to be stabled at the yard on Bury Road will be owned by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, son of Sheikh Mohammed.

Crisford, former Racing Manager for Godolphin, is expected to start training from his new base in early 2015
