Encyclopedia
Sir Michael Ronald Stoute (born 22 October 1945 in Barbados
) is a Barbadian British
thoroughbred horse trainer
in flat racing. Stoute, whose father was the Chief of police
for Barbados
, left the island in 1964 at the age of 19 to become an assistant to trainer Pat Rohan and began training horses on his own in 1972. His first win as a trainer came on 28 April 1972 when Sandal, a horse owned by Stoute’s father, won at Newmarket Racecourse
in Suffolk
, England
. Since then, he has gone on to win races all over the globe, including victories in the Dubai World Cup
, the Breeders Cup, the Japan Cup
and the Hong Kong Vase
.
He was knight
ed in 1998 for services to tourism in Barbados
. He was the only trainer in the 20th century to win an English Classic in five successive seasons and has been Champion Trainer
ten times (1981, 1986, 1989, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2009). He was the trainer for Kribensis
, who is the only horse to have won the Triple Crown of Hurdling
, doing so in the 1989/90 racing season. Stoute also trained Shergar
, arguably his most famous horse, who won the 1981 Epsom Derby

In 2009, three horses trained by Stoute, Conduit
, Tartan Bearer

In all, the horses took home $1,787,000 of the $2,008,945 prizemoney in Britain's richest horserace. Those wins helped him regain his Champion Trainer title in 2009, winning a total of £3,372,287 in prize money.
