From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noel Murless was a British trainer of racehorses from the post war years up to his retirement in 1976. His most successful years were spent at the same Warren Place stables used by Henry Cecil today. Over the years Noel enjoyed nineteen classic wins. Of these there were three Epsom Derby wins, Crepello (1957), St Paddy (1960) and Royal Palace (1967). Like his Warren Place successor he also had an outstanding record in the Epsom Oaks, saddling no less than five winners. His greatest horse was Royal Palace who preceded his Derby success by winning the 2,000 Guineas, to which he added the Eclipse and the King George VI the following year.
