Gayna Williams

Based in the western regional town of Bathurst, Gayna Williams has proved herself to be one of the top trainers in New South Wales with a strike rate that all of her contemporaries would like to emulate.

Originally based in Bathurst, Gayna was considered one of the leading trainers in her region before leaving for a short stint in Grafton only to return a year later to continue her career at Mudgee for a short time before, once again, moving back to Bathurst where it all began for her.

Her record has earned her plenty of accolades, including being named the district’s Premier Trainer and Golden West Premier Trainer for the 2007-08 season.

Kelly Barber

Situated near the small village of Bulga, just south-west of Singleton, Kelly is responsible for the spelling and pre-training of our horses. More recently, we have also used the services of Kelly to break-in our yearlings.

Kelly’s skill around horses is quite remarkable. Her work with one of our problem babies, Miss Monopoly proves that her skill and patience with horses is second to none. This filly’s barrier manners were so poor that several renowned horsemen had given up. Kelly has improved this horse so much that she has taken over the training duties and successfully got her to the races. We think that she will win races with this former “problem child.”
