Joe Tuite entered the training ranks in 2010 after over eight years as assistant  trainer to top Flat handler Mick Channon, having previously worked in a similar  capacity for Jamie Osborne and Charles Egerton. His yard, Shefford Valley Stables, is situated a couple of miles north of junction 14 of the M4 and set in the beautiful Berkshire Downs and offers purpose-built facilities that include a hillside 6f woodchip gallop and stabling for up to 30 horses, 

During his time at West lIsley, Joe was instrumental in running the 160-horse operation that annually sent out 100 winners and he helped oversee the preparations of top-class Channon Group winners Youmzain, Zafeen, Music Show, Flashy Wings, Lahaleeb and Mail The Desert, to name just a few.

This stiff gallop is sure to test the fitness of any horse.

Joe has had a great first season, sending out our filly INTERAKT to win three races (and to finish in the prize money numerous times too) and training six winners in total from a small string. We are delighted with the relationship we have forged with Joe and his team and we look forward to plenty more success. We will have 3 horses in training with Joe for 2012.
