ABOUT US
Philip had a successful career as a jockey riding 160 winners before following in his father's footsteps and set up training at Sandhill in 1985 with just six horses. Since then Sandhill has housed multiple Grade 1 winners, such as What's Up Boys, Rooster Booster, Detroit City, Menorah, Captain Chris, Wishful Thinking, Defi Du Seuil and most recently Thyme Hill.
Johnson White has been a vital part of the team for over 30 years, having started riding out for Philip in his school holidays at the age of 15. His early ambitions of becoming a jockey were dashed due to his height, so he became Philip's Assistant Trainer and has never looked back.
In March 2023 Johnson joined the training license and successfully added more winners to the Sandhill Team.
