Tony Carroll and Billy Loughnane retained their All-Weather Champion Trainer and All-Weather Champion Jockey titles, while Ryan Kavanagh was crowned All-Weather Champion Apprentice following the conclusion of the season on Good Friday, April 3.
Following his maiden title success last year, Carroll enjoyed a landmark year in 2025 as he accrued more than £1 million in prize money for the first time and sent out a career-best 128 winners.
The Worcestershire handler carried that momentum through the all-weather season and comfortably bettered last season’s tally of 57 winners, ending the campaign on 68.
Carroll said: “I have really enjoyed the season. Winning is what it is all about and it has been lovely for us. The team has been fantastic. There has been a great buzz behind the scenes, which is what I like, and everybody has worked so hard.
“In fairness to ARC, all the bonus competitions they put on through the winter are unbelievably competitive. Everybody is having a go at it now. It is a good watch, while owners are grateful for extra prize money.
“There have been so many highlights during the season. If I had to pick one, it was young Myla Coppins winning on Francesi.”
Loughnane turned the All-Weather Champion Jockey race into a procession, with the 20-year-old finishing the season with 98 wins, 37 more than his closest challenger Luke Morris.
Loughnane said: “The all-weather has a special place in my heart. My dad trains a lot of all-weather horses, and I started off on the all-weather a couple of years ago. Thankfully, I have managed to win the title again.
“I was trying to ride 200 winners for the year in the first part of the season, so I really gave it a kick to begin with. January and a lot of February were quite quiet, although Meydan was a little bit busier and having the opportunity to ride in the Middle East was great. Then I came back and thankfully the horses kept rolling for the end of it.
“Riding 98 winners is a good effort. I am a little bit disappointed that I didn’t quite get the hundred, but hopefully I can do it next year.”
Kavanagh, who is attached to the Ian Williams yard, notched 25 winners for the campaign, holding off a challenge from Jack Callan in the closing weeks of the season.
Kavanagh said: “I am delighted, but I would not be here if it wasn’t for all the support I have had from my boss Ian Williams, my agent Jack Hind, friends and family, plus all the other trainers that have supported me.
“I have been lucky enough to get on many good horses, horses that have won plenty of times for me. I think Tonal stands out. I have won on him five times, so he is definitely a horse that has helped me this winter. It is a very special day.”
Godolphin continues to dominate the All-Weather Champion Owner division, taking the award for the 12th consecutive year.
Kempton Park has again proved a happy hunting ground for the Dubai-based operation, with Hidden Force, King’s Trail, Nation’s Hope and Abashiri featuring among a raft of Classic hopefuls to impress at the course.
Hugh Anderson, Godolphin Managing Director (UK & Dubai), said: “Everyone at Godolphin is delighted to record a twelfth consecutive Owners' Championship on the All-Weather.
“The All-Weather season remains an important feature of the racing year and we have had some exciting winners that could now be heading to this year's Classics, including King's Trail, Hidden Force and Abashiri.
“As ever, this has been a real effort from the whole team: the trainers, jockeys and everyone working in the racing yards. We are all now gearing up for what will hopefully be another successful season on the turf.”
