Nico Archdale
Horse Racing was a passion of Nico’s from an early age, which led to working at Royal Ascot for 6 years whilst a student. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh with a Master of Arts with honours in Russian Studies, Nico began a career in the thoroughbred racing industry. Having completed the National Stud Diploma course in Newmarket with a distinction, he went on to work for Charlie Fellowes as a pupil assistant trainer. He was then accepted onto the Godolphin Flying Start Scholarship Program, where he spent two years working on HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum’s Darley stud farms in Ireland, the USA, Australia, Dubai and the UK. It also included placements with trainer Tom Morley in America and Coolmore in Australia. Completing the course with a distinction, Nico worked for Mark McStay at Avenue Bloodstock for 2 years as a racing and sales consultant. In the summer of 2022, Nico set up Archdale Bloodstock.
