Imagine starting your day at 2:30 a.m. and being on the track by 3:45 a.m.! That's the new routine for Claire and Daniel Kubler, who are not only breaking barriers but also creating an 'incredibly exciting' adventure in Bahrain.
Claire Kubler has made history by becoming the first woman to hold a training license in Bahrain, partnering with her husband Daniel. Together, they aim to have their first runner as resident trainers within the next two weeks.
In August, the Kublers were offered a remarkable opportunity by Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, chairman of the Rashid Equestrian & Horseracing Club. They relocated to the Royal Stables near Sakhir, Bahrain's only track, where they now manage close to 40 horses owned by the Shaikh and the Bahrain royal family.
But here's where it gets controversial... The Kublers are no strangers to pioneering roles. In 2020, they became the first husband-and-wife team to be named on a training license in Britain when they started at Sarsen Farm, Lambourn. Now, they plan to run their yard in Bahrain as their main base while also maintaining their operation in Britain.
And this is the part most people miss... The Kublers' story is an inspiring example of how innovation and determination can lead to remarkable opportunities. Their journey showcases the power of taking risks and embracing new challenges.
So, what do you think? Is this a bold move or a risky venture? Share your thoughts in the comments and let's discuss the potential impact of the Kublers' decision on the racing industry.
