HARASETAK STABLES

Contact Name: Kate Jenner
Address: Young NSW 2594
Contact Phone: 0418 476 562
Email: ktsmail@hotmail.com
Specialise in: Pacers
Facebook: HARASETAK STABLES Bio: We are a small quiet country stable in NSW, we have great facilities and paddocks/yards for the horses to relax on days off and during the day. Each horse gets individual and personalised training and attention and we especially like to work babies and see them grow and improve each prep. We generally breed our own and maybe buy 1 yearling at the sales but looking to grow on that base as the babies are the future racing stock. We have had 2 stand out performers in 'The Dancing Posum' and recently 'Ned Pepper' who won 5 country cups in NSW in one season and has won from 1700m to 2900m. We currently have room available from pretraining, training, racing and rehab.

RANDO RACING

Contact Name: Joe & Mary Rando
Address: Maryaylya, NSW 2765
Contact Phone: 0412 979 793
Email: maryrando@live.com.au
Specialise in: Both Pacers & Trotters
Facebook: RANDO RACING Bio: Husband and wife duo Joe and Mary Rando founded Rando Racing and were the first official training partnership in New South Wales. The multiple Group-winning trainers specialise in the preparation of both trotters and pacers and pride themselves on attention to detail with their team. Horses live in a very natural setting and thrive on their 25-acre property in Sydney’s North West. The undulated sand track has helped the gait of both trotters and pacers, building their hind quarters and muscle. In recent years, Rando Racing has experienced success with trotters and has also been accomplished with pacers too. Feature wins include the Bathurst Gold Chalice, Simpson Memorial, Redcliffe Cup, Bulli Trotters Cup, La Coocaracha (VIC), the Australian Franco Trotters Cup and the Keystone Del.

Email: dlsharnessracing@gmail.com
Specialise in: Both Trotters and Pacers
Facebook: DLS Harness Bio: Dylan Stratford is a 30yo, up and coming trainer who is already starting to put together an impressive record in just his 3rd full time season training in Victoria. Dylan spent his formative years learning from some of the best trainers in his native New Zealand, including Tim Butt and David Butt and in America with renowned horseman Chris Ryder. He now trains from the state-of-the art Cranbourne Training Centre. The Centre not only gives him access to outstanding facilities but also affords Dylan a cost structure which allows him to offer his owners very competitive/affordable training fees. Boasting an impressive strike rate, Dylan’s aptitude with young horses is borne out by his having qualified horses for a number of feature races last season including Victorian Trotting oaks, Breeders Crown finals and Vicbred Super Series finals. Dylan puts a strong emphasis on giving owners an enjoyable experience, with regular updates through the MiStable app, transparent and honest feedback, and open lines of communication. Prospective owners are encouraged to contact Dylan and he will gladly assist with sale day pedigree advice and yearling inspection.
