Ralph Beckett
Age: 53
Background:
Ralph Beckett’s family has a long history in racing. Beckett travelled to Australia when he finished school and worked for two of that country’s training legends, Bart Cummings and Colin Hayes, before returning to England to work for trainers like Jimmy FitzGerald, Arthur Moore and Martin Pipe. In 1996, he became an assistant to Peter Walwyn, eventually taking over Walwyn’s licence in 2000. He scored Classic glory in 2008 when Look Here took the Oaks at Epsom, a race he also won in 2013 with Talent. Simple Verse added another Classic when she took the 2015 St Leger, before adding the G1 Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes a month later. Beckett cracked 100 wins in a season in Great Britain for the first time in 2016. He achieved his career highlight when Bluestocking won the 2024 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. That outstanding filly also won the Prix Vermeille and Pretty Polly Stakes. A recent run of sparkling form for Beckett also saw him capture the 2024 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint with outsider Starlust.
