[3] In 1933, Walter Earl took over the yard and won the 1942 Derby with Watling Street.

In 1976, the stables were sold to Gavin Pritchard Gordon, before being acquired by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for his Godolphin Racing operation in April 1988, thereby being renamed Godolphin Stables under head trainer John Gosden.

The stables were involved in a 2013 investigation by the British Horseracing Authority into the conduct of trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni.

[7] The stables now serve as a base for Godolphin's British operations, led by trainer Saeed Bin Suroor.

The yard can hold 115 horses, and has a number of leading facilities including private grass and all-weather gallops, a swimming pool, Seawalker and Equine spas.
