Robert Cowell (born 29 November 1968) is an English racehorse trainer based at Newmarket, who is widely regarded as one of the best trainers of horses running at sprint distances.[1] His group one winners include: Prohibit, winner of the King's Stand Stakes, Jwala winner of the Nunthorpe Stakes and Goldream (King's Stand Stakes and Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp).[2][3]

Cowell's father rode in Point-to-point races and Cowell began his racing career working for Gavin Pritchard-Gordon. He also worked for John Hammond in France and Neil Drysdale in the United States before starting his own training career in 1996 at Hollywood Park Racetrack in California. In 1997 Cowell returned to Britain and began training at Newmarket and gained his first victory in January 1998 when Mary Cornwallis won at Lingfield Park.[4]
