David Loder (born 26 January 1964 in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire, England) is a retired trainer of Thoroughbred racehorses.
David Loder is the son of Simon Loder, of the family of Loder Baronets, by Sandra Fleming, a descendant of Robert Fleming (financier). He was educated at Eton College.
He began his professional career at Newmarket Racecourse in 1992 and trained for thirteen years before retiring in 2005.
He is known for anticipating that Dubai Millennium would become a star horse.
Loder retired after suffering from a virus that prevented him from training as well as he had previously.
Famous quotes containing the word david:
“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
