HISTORY:
Harraton Court Stables has a notable history. It was built during the 1880s by John George Lambton, the third Earl of Durham and a major figure in the history of horse racing.
The Cicero Barn is the earliest part of the property which may have been built as early as 1811, originally known as Church Barn it was renamed after the Derby winner of 1905. The Main quadrangle was completed by the Earl in 1883. From 1895 Percy Peck trained from Harraton Court producing 12 classic winners including Cicero in 1905.
In more recent history Harraton Court has been a base for Barney Curley and Hugh Collingridge among others, the latter winning the Queen Elizabeth II stakes and the Royal Hunt Cup. Most recently Darryll Holland has trained from Harraton Court.
