Adrian Rolls, Assistant Trainer

Adrian was born May 10th, 1965 in Oxford, England. His family still live in Wantage, which is a small town within a huge racing community set beneath the rolling downs of Berkshire and Oxfordshire. It is the home of some of the top racehorses in the country.

Adrian started working with racehorses at age 11. At 16 he started full-time with John Dunlop and attended the Jockey Apprentice School at Goodwood. From there he moved back to Wantage and worked for Captain Forster; where Adrian looked after 1985 Grand National winner, Last Suspect. It was here that he first met Graham who had traveled from America with a horse for Jonathan Sheppard.

They met again when Adrian moved to the United States in 1989 to work and ride races for Jonathan Sheppard, and later worked for Graham when he was assistant to Bernie Bond. When Bernie retired, Graham took out his license and Adrian stayed to become Graham’s assistant and right-hand man.

David Rock, Assistant Trainer

David was born 1967 in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. 
He rode out for his uncle, William Rock from the age of 12. He did an apprenticeship as a carpenter, rode as an amateur over jumps and was instrumental in teaching Tony McCoy to ride. Tony McCoy went on to be champion jockey in England. 

He arrived in Canada in 1988 to manage a barn for Mike Doyle, and then went on to be Assistant to Roger Attfield. He has worked for Graham on and off since 1993. 

Sue Kenny (Bilborough), Office Manager

Sue was brought up in the town of Newmarket, England, the horse-racing capital of the world.

After riding in small events and show-jumping as a child she progressed into racehorses at the age of 16 when she started riding out for Harry Thompson-Jones when he had his good steeplechasers, including Tingle Creek and Sweet Joe. 

Most of her career has been spent in flat racing, where she had a few amateur rides. Before she came to the States in 1992 she worked for the great Major W. R. Hern during the years with Nashwan, Unfuwain, Prince of Dance, Dayjur, Roseate Tern and Drumtaps. She also looked after a horse for the Queen. 

Arriving in the United States she worked for Jonathan Sheppard for a couple of years before travelling the country, working in Kentucky and Montana before ending back in Maryland in 1997. Sue started working for Graham in September 2002.

Noe has been working for Graham since 2002. His home is Morelos, Mexico where he has about ten siblings! His brother Audon also works for Graham as a groom.

Noe is an excellent foreman, has a good rapport with the grooms and hotwalkers and pays attention to detail. He is very conscientious and the horses are certainly his first concern.

The smooth running of the Fair Hill barn would not be possible without Noe's help.

Rebecca Kelly, Barn Foreman

Becky was born in Fairfax, VA, began riding lessons at the age of 4 and when she moved to Pennsylvania she was very active in Miss Patsy DuPont's pony club, along with frequent foxhunting.

Her Aunt trained for a number of years at Delaware Park so after showing and three-day eventing Becky worked for her, eventually moving to New York to gallop for some top trainers for many years.

She began working for Graham as foreman in the Spring of 2006.

Greg Stelmach, Traveling Head Man

Gregory Stelmach was born in Poland and raised on his grandparents’ farm near the Russian border, and it was there that he fell in love with horses. His grandfather and great-grandfather were horse breeders for the Polish army. Greg served in Poland’s Military Cavalry Corps and attended the School of Agriculture before arriving in the United States in 1991.

He worked for Mrs. Allaire DuPont at her Woodstock Farm in Chesapeake City, Maryland for ten years before joining the Herringswell team. Greg loves every aspect of his work with horses, from galloping and breezing workers in the mornings to occasionally standing in for Graham and Adrian and taking runners to the track in the afternoons.

Her work has been published by Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred and TRAINER magazines, The Daily Racing Form, The Saratoga Special and Steeplechase Times, and has been exhibited at the National Museum of Racing in Saratoga Springs, New York.
