Luca Cumani

List of horses in training


Luca Cumani was born and raised in Italy and comes from a family steeped in racing so it was natural that he continued in that tradition by both race-riding and training. He came to England in the early seventies as assistant to Henry Cecil in Newmarket and began a tie with racing’s headquarters that has lasted ever since. He acquired the historic Bedford House Stables in 1976 and a ceaseless supply of winners has been the result since then. He has won the Epsom Derby twice, firstly in 1988 with Kahyasi and again a decade later with High Rise. Alongside big race success in this country is a proven international track record with victories in the Hong Kong Cup, the Japan Cup and the Breeders Cup.
