“Adam stands out because of the level of detail he brings. He doesn’t just look at a page, he doesn’t skim over things, he doesn’t skip steps, he studies the horse, the programme book, the long-term plan. He understands what works in a yard, and what doesn’t. He’s been there & done it, riding out etc, he knows what is manageable & what’s not. From a training perspective, it’s refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely ‘gets it’. His judgement is mature beyond his years, and he’ll be building a reputation very quickly.”
- Will D, Assistant Trainer
“Working with Adam has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as an owner. He combines deep level knowledge with complete honesty and transparency. At every stage I’ve felt confident and excited about the process of working with him & having him buy me horses. The value he’s achieved for the prices I’ve paid is very, very good, and the results on the track justified everything he said from day one. His greatest asset, from my point of view, is he genuinely treats your investment like it’s his own, and that’s rare. I’ve worked with a good few agents in this industry & just felt like a number, with Adam, I feel he thinks about my horses more often than I do!”
— Chris H, Owner
“Adam is one of the sharpest young operators I’ve worked with. He has a natural eye for value and an instinct for spotting horses that can improve in the right environment. The horses he’s sourced for us were bought exceptionally well and each one of them horses in training he’s bought us the past couple years went on to win — which is no coincidence. We’ve a few that he bought us back end of last year at the H.I.T sales & we’re super happy with them. He does his homework thoroughly, understands conformation, physical’s, soundness and pedigree in depth, and he’s not afraid to back his judgement, either he’s got a little bit of a cockiness about him, but in a positive way. In this game, that confidence, when it’s backed by knowledge, is invaluable.”
— Roger Fell, Trainer
“Since Adam started managing my rides, everything has felt more structured and professional. He’s proactive, driven and constantly looking for opportunities — not just booking rides, but building long-term relationships with people. He understands the sport inside out and always has my best interests at heart. Having him in my corner gives me real confidence, we share a good personal relationship, which helps, too, we’ll meet for a drink & are always having a laugh, which I think is also important, especially given the importance of mental health in sport nowadays.”
— Apprentice Jockey
“Joining on with Calcaria Racing has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made in racing. Adam has built & is building something incredibly special. I’m now involved in all four horses in the group — two of which were only purchased a couple of months ago — and in a very short space of time (since start of 2025) I’ve already had five winners with them from just three horses running. That level of strike-rate is exceptional at any level of the sport, let alone when the horses cost an average of under £1,000 each! It’s a phenomenal, phenomenal achievement, that can’t be understated.”
“Adam’s eye for value is extraordinary. He sees potential & angles where others don’t, he thinks outside the box and he has the confidence and intelligence to act on it. Nothing feels rushed or speculative — every single little decision is calculated, from purchase, to race placement, and the results speak for themselves.”
“On top of that, he’s brilliant to deal with. He’s approachable, transparent, and always happy to talk things through, whether that’s pedigrees, race planning, or simply sharing the excitement of the journey. He makes every person involved feel properly involved and valued.”
“To produce four winners from such inexpensive purchases in such a short period isn’t luck, it’s judgement, hard work and serious ability. I genuinely believe Adam is one of the best, if not the best young bloodstock mind(s) in the country right now, he’s incredibly shrewd. He operates with the professionalism of someone far more established, yet remains grounded and one of the nicest people you could wish to deal with in racing.”
“If you want someone sharp, honest, driven and completely committed to delivering results, there isn’t anyone better to have in your corner.”
