WATCH: Life of a new trainer - documentary following the emergence of Hilal Kobeissi in the training ranks


Find out what it's like at the start of the journey in an attempt to make it big in racing as we track the early stages of a new trainer in Newmarket.

Hilal Kobeissi is a new name in the training game having decided to take his chance in one of the most challenging roles in the sport.

With little racing pedigree, no family history in the game and only a handful of horses with which to work, Hilal has set out on his journey with significant dreams of really making a name for himself at the very home of Flat racing, Newmarket.

We're all aware about the highs, the glory, rewards, fame, scrutiny and pressures that must come with being a successful trainer, but what is it like at the very start of that process?

Enjoy the short video below as we go behind the scenes at British racing's Headquarters and discover the uphill battle facing a young and aspiring racehorse handler.
