It’s quite easy to win once…but difficult to have CONTINUED SUCCESS!
Team Botti has a history of notable achievements. From generation to generation, Team Botti has shown itself to be the best group of gallop trainers in Italy.
Such an achievement is on par with a football manager winning 39 of 41 possible league titles: if we were based in the US we would have soon gained a place in the Hall of Fame, the pinnacle of sporting success. However, such achievements have not been recognised in Italy outside of the horse racing world. And yet, Team Botti has written the history of Italian horse racing, through its continued growth and development.
Our success has, however, been acknowledged abroad, where our sport is followed by a larger audience, and our hard work has been acknowledged by a series of awards and accolades as noted below:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
- 39 CATEGORY CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORIES from 1973 until today (including the last 5 titles won by Stefano Botti)
- EUROPEAN RECORD for the most victories in a season, with 331 in 2007.
- An average win percentage which has always remained near to 25%.
- 10 first places in the Italian Oaks
- 8 first places in the Regina Elena Stakes (GR2)
- 5 first places in the Italian Derby
- 6 first places in the Lydia Tesio Stakes (GR1)
- 9 first places in the Guido Berardelli Stakes
The achievements obtained in the last 40 years are not just in the field of horse training, but we have also received recognition as jockeys, horse owners, and in recent years, as breeders. Furthermore, the breeding centre of Razza del Velino has been recognised as one of the best breeding centres in Italy and Europe during recent years, notably through the breeding of horses which have gone on to become great champions.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
For the past many years, as in other sector, market globalization has opened us the doors to the world market and the results we have achieved in Italy have caught the attention of several investors abroad who have turned to us just to buy some horses we bred or trained. Such horses include Ramonti, Jakkalberry, Crakerjack King, Cherry Collect, Duck Feet, Charity Line, Arpinati, Gentleman Only, Biz The Nurse, Final Score and many others..
