Trainers Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole in shock split after two and a half year partnership

RACING’S biggest dual-purpose partnership will come to an unexpected and premature end with Richard Newland and Jamie Insole set to split. Insole joined the Grand National-winning trainer on the licence at Urloxhey Stables in Worcestershire two and a half years ago. Richard Newland (L) and Jamie Insole will part ways after two and a half years Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk But the joint venture is in the process of being dismantled, with Insole to depart in the coming weeks. The former assistant to Charlie Hills predominantly oversaw the training of the yard’s Flat string and the pair have had success under both codes. Sign up for the Sport newsletter Thank you! Newland and Insole have saddled 139 winners since December 2023, on the Flat and over jumps, with Witness Stand’s victory in the 2025 Lennox Stakes their most notable result. That horse could return to Glorious Goodwood to defend his crown next week, but it will be one of their final big-race runners with Insole setting up his own yard in Lambourn. Newland, who enjoyed his finest hour when Pineau De Re won the Grand National in 2014, will continue to train on his own at the state-of-the-art stable he opened in 2019. Newland said: “Jamie has done a great job for us, he’s been with us for two and a half years. I’m just changing the shape of the yard a bit. “Economically, racing is quite a challenge at the moment and it is something Jamie and I have discussed over a number of months. “I know he’s got his own new yard coming on, so I wish him well. I expect it will be sorted over the next couple of months.” Most read in Horse Racing Insole confirmed the two men were going their separate ways but declined to comment.
