From his debuts in 1989, Yann Barberot became one of the best riders in West of France, with more than 400 successes to his name.

Yann Barberot registered in 2008 his first victory as a trainer with his first runner, Sirham, who was bought in a claimer. The same year, he took over as the head of an important stable based in Deauville from Yves Lalleman, who had earned the supreme title of Cravache d’Or on 8 occasions. Yann Barberot kept all his promises quickly collecting numerous successes, including the Group 3 Prix du Bois and Group 2 Prix Robert Papin in 2011 with Family One.

Now among the best trainers based in Deauville, Yann Barberot won his first Group 1 race in 2018 with Waikika, a splendid winner of the G1 Prix Vittorio di Capua at Milan. Regularly in the top 15 of the best French trainers by earnings since 2017, he is one of the best trainers of the young French crop.
