The Racing League brings forward the trainer selection process

In what is a major development, The Racing League today announces that owners will be asked to bring forward their selection of their team’s trainers.

As an owner, you not only own the players (the horses), and receive the prize money earned by the players, but also make all the important decisions.

Selection of the 6 trainers for each team is one of the most important decisions team owners will make.

Trainers are the ones who will be caring 24/7 for your expensive thoroughbreds. It is the trainer who will need to utilise all their experience in having these thoroughbreds primed to peak health. Taking on the best horses in what just may be in many cases, the biggest races. Trainers need to know when to push the go button and when to make the call that it’s time for a break. 

More than just race day

In choosing a trainer, TRL encourages team owners to consider also the type of trainer they want for their team, what sort of person are they? There will be a lot of communication from your trainer in the lead up to them racing. This can be a captivating aspect of the experience.

Helping with the decision

The Racing League is asking trainers to pitch to team owners. We have asked trainers to articulate who they are and what is unique about their stable. These pitch videos will help you choose trainers by delving into who they are as people.Expect to meet many different personalities and many different skill sets and specialties.

The process

  1. Trainers will now start sharing their TRL pitches. They must have a pitch video to be in contention as a trainer in TRL
  2. We will then arrange webinars with trainers so you can get to know them further
  3. Share your thoughts and questions on socials
  4. Voting is then opens for a week only
  5. You must be an owner in TRL to vote
  6. Team managers will then collate your votes and announce team trainers

Be part of the decision making

You must be an owner to have your say on who trains your team. If you haven’t signed up, now is the time. Purchase your share here.

Cool Jakey was the King of Warwick Farm  on Wednesday and NSW Tycoons owners would like to package the Metropolitan track and just take it wherever Cool Jakey goes after he kept his undefeated record intact. 

It’s remarkable that ‘Jakey’, trained on track and stabled across the road with Joe Pride, is one of those athletes, albeit of the equine kind, who thrives on his home ground. 

He won on debut at Warwick Farm way back in February of 2023 and the love affair hasn’t ended, Cool Jakey has now won 4 from 4 at ‘The Farm’ and there’s plenty more wins in store for your son of Pierro.

BOUNCE BACK FACTOR 

As Tycoons were made aware of, there’s a theory in racing that when a horse suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, “you must back it next start” and they win. 

And that was certainly the message after Cool Jakey suffered cardiac arrhythmia the previous start at Randwick, with Joe Pride telling Tycoons in the pre-race late mail, “Don’t worry about what happened last start, the horse is fine and he looks great,” how right Joe was with Cool Jakey leading all the way.

HIPPO FROM BARRIER TO BOX

Adam Hyeronimus was having his first sit on Cool Jakey and he rode him a treat. We joked before the race “just go to the front and improve your position” and that’s exactly what he did. 

“He jumped well and found a nice rhythm straight away, he had a nice time so I let him slide early into it at the 600metres so we did go a bit early. 

“He felt fantastic throughout the run and was doing it easily, so I did get a bit of a surprise how quickly he stopped. 

“So maybe I did go too early, but in saying that, maybe seven furlongs is his upper limit. On that effort he’ll be winning again” Jockey Adam Hyeronimus said.

JOE DELIGHTED

“That was good guys” trainer Joe Pride said, with a big smile to a large contingent of NSW Tycoons on Cool Jakey returning to scale. 

“Look it was nice to see him win on a track that wasn’t bottomless wet, it opens up a lot more opportunities for him. 

“In saying that if there was a 1400m for him in a fortnight on a Good track I would probably be reluctant to start him. We need to nurse him through it and the next month – six weeks isn’t going to be easy because it’s carnival time.

WHATS NEXT – PACK YOUR BAGS

The Tycoons have been very patient with Cool Jakey and their patience has been rewarded. He is building a very nice career record which stands at only 13 starts for 5 wins and a minor placing and is now pushing the $200,000 in prize money. 

‘Jakey’ has initially pulled up well, but we all know that he is a delicate soul and has to be treated with kindness and Joe is reluctant to push him too hard too quickly. Which is fair enough. 

“We might even consider travelling him maybe to Melbourne or Brisbane for a wet track, we just need to look after him.

“He’s been a good horse for us, we will look after him and his best opportunities will come in the Winter,” Joe concluded. 

Congratulations to all NSW Tycoons and winning connections.

Go you good thing!
