Timeline

1910

Sir Charles Francis Noel Murless (24 March 1910 – 9 May 1987) was an English racehorse trainer who one of the most successful of the twentieth century.

1935

Murless began his career as a trainer in 1935 at Hambleton Lodge in Yorkshire before moving to Hambleton House after the war, at one time sharing premises with Ryan Price.

Noel Murless commenced training in 1935, when his first winner was Rubin Wood in the Lee Plate at Lanark Racecourse.

1947

In 1947, he moved south, first to Beckhampton, Wiltshire (where he was champion trainer in his first season) and then to Warren Place, Newmarket.

Murless had nineteen classic wins in England and two in Ireland.

He first made his mark as a trainer after the Second World War in 1947 by winning two famous handicaps, the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot with Oros and the Steward's Cup at Glorious Goodwood with Closeburn.

Oros was a "top class mile handicapper".

Closeburn was just below the very best sprinters of 1947 and was placed in the Cork and Orrery and July Cup before winning the Stewards Cup under a record weight at the time for a 3-year-old of 8-10.

He went on to win the Challenge Stakes in October, then run over 6 furlongs.

The Bloodstock Breeders Review of 1947 said of Closeburn "The credit of breeding the winner goes to his young trainer who, at the end of the season, followed Fred Darling as the "Master" of the famous Beckhampton stable".

1948

1948 was Murless' first season at Beckhampton in Wiltshire after taking over from Fred Darling.

There was immediate success with Queenpot winning the 1,000 Guineas and The Cobbler taking second place in the 2,000 Guineas.

Three winners at Royal Ascot included a two-year-old Abernant, who was to become one of the finest sprinters of the second half of the century.

Other significant winners of the year included Goblet in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket and the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood, Gold Mist in Doncaster's Portland Handicap and Royal Forest in the Dewhurst Stakes.

The move to Beckhampton also led to King George VI becoming one of Noel Murless's owners, for whom he trained three winners in 1948.

Noel was Champion Trainer for the first time in 1948 and also had three (Abernant, Royal Forest and Faux Tirage) out of the first four in the Two Year Old Free Handicap for the year.

Noel Murless trained another three years at Beckhampton but was not entirely happy, according to his biographer Tim Fitzgeorge-Parker.

1949

Those three years did lead to a second classic winner with Ridge Wood in the 1949 St Leger and the dominance of the sprinting ranks by Abernant, who won the King Stand at Royal Ascot in 1949; July Cup at Newmarket, King George Stakes at Goodwood and Nunthorpe Stakes at York in both 1949 and 1950.

1952

In 1952 he became manager of Eve Stud, owned by Sir Victor Sassoon, and was the mastermind behind its racing success.

Murless moved to Warren Place in Newmarket towards the end of the 1952 Flat season.

Although there were no immediate classic winners, the quality of horses was expected to improve as new high-spending owners became patrons of the yard.

These owners included the Aga Khan, and his son Aly Khan who had offered support prior to the move.

Murless said of Prince Aly Khan in his biography that he was "highly intelligent, a first class judge of a horse and of form and breeding".

1953

Winners in 1953 included the Cork and Orrery with Blood Test at Royal Ascot, and Buckhound in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket.

1954

The Queen's Landau won the Rous Memorial Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Sussex Stakes at the Glorious Goodwood festival in 1954.

In the same year, at Royal Ascot Gordon Richards won the King Edward VII Stakes on Rashleigh, trained by Noel.

1955

This race lead ultimately to the up-and-coming young new jockey of the time having his licence removed for six months: that jockey was Lester Piggott who in 1955 would take over as stable jockey for Murless, following Sir Gordon Richards' retirement.

Piggott and Murless together would be a dynamic combination in British Flat Racing for the next decade.

A major owner of horses at Warren Place was Sir Victor Sassoon, whose Eve Stud Noel managed.

In 1955 Sassoon sent the yearling Crepello to Warren Place.

1956

Crepello was to win the Dewhurst Stakes in 1956 and the Two Thousand Guineas plus the Derby in 1957.

1957

Of these, there were three Epsom Derby wins, with Crepello (1957), St. Paddy (1960) and Royal Palace (1967).

He also had an outstanding record in The Oaks, saddling no less than five winners: Carrozza (1957), Petite Etoile (1959), Lupe (1970), Altesse Royale (1971) and Mysterious (1973).

His greatest horse was arguably Royal Palace, who preceded his Derby success by winning the 2,000 Guineas, to which he added the Eclipse and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes the following year.

1967

1967 was probably Murless' most successful year as a trainer.

Victories included three of the home classics, Eclipse and King George.

He was Champion Trainer.

1970

Murless purchased the property from Sir Victor's widow in 1970 and named it Woodditton Stud.

He continued the practice of standing stallions there, including the top-class racehorses Connaught and Welsh Pageant.

1981

The stallion tradition was maintained when the stud was sold to Yong Nam-Seng of Singapore in 1981.
