Thady Gosden (born April 1995) is a British racehorse trainer.[1] He has trained over 300 winners worldwide, including winners of the Oaks, the British Champions Fillies' and Mares' Stakes, the Ascot Gold Cup, the Dubai Sheema Classic and the Prix Jacques Le Marois.[2][3]

He trains at Clarehaven Stables in Newmarket, England.

Early career

He was educated at Bristol University, where he studied History of Art, but said he always intended to become a trainer.

Gosden started training in 2021,[4][5] holding the licence jointly with his father John Gosden.[6][7][8][9]

In their first season together, the partnership won the Saudi Cup, the Dubai Turf and the Dubai Sheema Classic all within just over a month.[10]

In their first full season, they recorded 133 winners from 651 runners at a strike rate of 20%, followed by 129 winners from 593 runners in 2022 at a 22% strike rate. Among the notable performers of this period was Inspiral, who won the Fillies' Mile as a two-year-old in 2021[11] before developing into one of the leading milers in Europe,[12] and Nashwa, who won the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood in 2022.[13]

The following year was very successful for Gosden. Classic success came via Soul Sister in the Oaks at Epsom,[14] while Mostahdaf won the Juddmonte International at York.[15] They became champion trainers in 2023.[16] Inspiral capped the season by winning the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita.[17]
