Alec Taylor, Jr.

Alec Taylor, Jr.

Alec Taylor, Jr. (1862-1943) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse trainer who followed in the footsteps of his highly successful father, Alec Taylor, Sr..

From his Manton Stud at Manton, Wiltshire, Alec Taylor trained a large number of very successful horses, winning most every major race in England. He claimed victory in twenty-one of the Classic Races and is the only trainer to ever win two British Triple Crown titles, doing it back-to-back in 1917 and 1918.

Twelve times Taylor earned British flat racing Champion Trainer honors as the year's leader in earnings including seven in a row between 1917 and 1923.

Beyond his Classic winners, Taylor also trained Buchan, Picaroon, and Sceptre, amongst others.
