Horse training career
He principally trains flat horses such as multiple Group 1 winner Soviet Song. However, he has twice won the Champion Hurdle: in 1992 with Royal Gait, previously a disqualified winner of the Ascot Gold Cup; and ten years later with Hors La Loi III.
Fanshawe has also won at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals with the J. P. McManus-owned Reveillez.
He trains at Pegasus Stables in Newmarket.
