Damian, who has been working alongside Dan since 2006, is an instrumental part of the running of our stable.

He grew up around horses and as a showjumping rider represented Australia in India in his late teens.

Overall, he is an all-rounder who assists in the day to day running of the stable, rides track work, educates our hurdlers, attends the races and even breaks-in the odd youngster.

Mel’s work background consists of administrative, financial, sales and customer service roles for high profile companies such as Ansett, Clinique, Australian Catholic University, HBA and Credit Union SA.

She has been attending the races since a little girl, and has family involved in the racing industry.

Dan and Mel were married in 2002, and became the very proud parents of their little boy, Alex in 2009. Mel loves getting to the races to socialise and cheer home our runners.
