I am of the opinion and I amnot sure if I am off the mark here but I think Gai tends to ruin horses at a young age by running them into the ground. I personally try to steer away from backing her horses they are usually short which isn't my go and I don't like betting in sydney outside of carnival time anyway so it doesn't hurt me to much anyway.


Mayfield Smith for mine tries to look after his horses will avoind bog tracks with most of them unless he has a horse which is truly looking for it, he is an exceptional trainer just doesn't seem to get the highest quality horses these days.

Hawkes he is a good trainer but the quantity of runners he has makes it very hard to follow him alot of the horses who do win for him especially in sydney are short for 2 reasons normally, one because he trains them and two Beadman is riding them not a good combo for value.


Freedman is a great trainer with the best facilites in Australia that Rye complex just has done amazing things for him especially the staying ranks but he does strike me as a bit on a whinger at times maybe I am just taking the bloke the wrong or maybe I have been listening to his brother Richard for to long.

Danny O'Brien, John O'Shea, Guy Walter, Shawn Dwyer and Peter Moody are guys with smaller stables who usually are good to follow.
