Former Jockey Set for Gawler Training Debut

Tuesday, 26 November 2002 00:00

The first, Gillian Davey, may be new to training but most would remember her as former female jockey Gillian Winkley.

Gillian makes her training debut at Gawler tomorrow with a leased filly named Pokemonster - a three-year-old in the first event - the Sunsmart Plate (1050m).

Not only does Davey train the filly, but she also rides her in trackwork and even broke her in.

"I've been involved with racing for about 15 years now," Davey said. "I started riding while I was at High School, but retired from the saddle a few years ago now and have since been married and had a child.

"I decided to get back involved in racing so I leased this filly from Daniel Clarken. I broke her in, rode her in all her work and have now got her ready to race. I'm pretty excited about seeing her run tomorrow and if she could place, I would be just stoked."

Davey said Pokemonster would have a couple of runs this time in, before another spell. She added the filly, by Al Khawaaneeg, would be much better over ground and would return for the autumn.

A new addition to the jockeys' ranks is Kayla Stra, who rides the John Letts-trained Jester's Edge in tomorrow's Mitre 10 Class 5 Handicap at Gawler tomorrow.

Kayla, who has only recently been granted her license to ride, made her debut in the saddle at Clare on Sunday but, unfortunately, finished last aboard her mount, Set Of Bells.

Kayla, just 17, has a wealth of racing experience behind her, having grown up around horses and riding her first pony at eight.

"As a little girl I loved horses and had lessons at pony club," Stra said. "I grew up at Aldinga and worked for a horse trainer, Ray Moore, riding trackwork and I even broke some in."

Kayla is indentured to veteran Morphettville trainer Pat Barns.

Another new face soon to be seen among the local jockeys is Briony Dunn. She is the daughter of Strathalbyn trainer Barry and sister of international jockey Dwayne.

Briony was to have had her first ride at Naracoorte on Thursday but, unfortunately, the race in which she was booked to ride was deleted at acceptance. She will have to wait a little longer. Briony is indentured to Richard Jolly at Morphettville.

The 19-year-old has a lot of experience for an apprentice, working for Lindsay Park for the last four years - three at Angaston and the last year at Flemington as a track rider.

Yet another new face appearing in the next month or so will be Nicole Stone who is indentured to Stuart Gower at Morphettville.

It took a horrific car accident and a lot of time to think before Nicole decided to join the TAFE School and become a jockey, and she has now finished her race trials and is waiting to be granted her license.

South Eastern Clubs Link Together for Future Success

Tuesday, 26 November 2002 00:00

The five south-east clubs - Mount Gambier, Naracoorte, Penola, Bordertown and Millicent - will work together under the Limestone Coast Thoroughbred Racing banner. To help them achieve their goals, they have employed a Business Development Manager - Mark Fullford - who brings a wealth of racing and administration knowledge to the area.

Each Club retains its own identity but will work together with the Business Development Manager who will concentrate on branding, sponsorship and growing raceday attendances.

Martin Miles, Chairman of the Bordertown Racing Club, said the move was a positive step forward.

"The plan is for all clubs in the area to unite and work together and, along with a Business Development Manager, grow the core business," Miles said.

"Mark will work with existing sponsors, create new sponsors both locally and corporate, develop branding in the area, work with local government and tourism offices and liaise with Thoroughbred Racing SA in Adelaide. This will also allow the respective secretaries of each club to concentrate more on their raceday activities.

"I think creating this position is a very positive step and will help the Clubs grow their businesses into the future."

Fullford has worked for many years in New Zealand at both Club and Administration levels, such as Marketing Manager at the Wellington Racing Club, General Manager of the Wanganui Jockey Club and most recently General Manager of Crown Gaming Concepts.

"Mark comes to us with a wealth of experience in the areas we require," Miles said.

"He has a lot of experience with both Clubs and Administration, and was the Private Secretary to former New Zealand Racing Minister John Falloon. He has been very successful at the Clubs he's been involved with, especially in the areas of sponsorship and growing raceday attendances."

Limestone Coast Thoroughbred Racing hopes to grow district branding for the racing product in the area, and become more involved with the successful Limestone Coast Tourism organization.
"We were very keen to get someone here to work with all the Clubs to develop our local product," Miles said.

"We want to be more involved in Tourism and other events in the area. We would also like to target more women and children to attending the races, and in the future will be looking at reciprocal rights for members to all the clubs in the area."

Fullford is one of four Business Development Managers in South Australia, whose positions were created to develop the racing industry through the growth in regional raceday events, on-course quality standards, sponsorship and hospitality packaging.

"We will continue to look for the right people to grow the racing industry in South Australia," Thoroughbred Racing SA Chief Executive John Cameron said.

"The Clubs have the opportunity to utilise the skills of the Business Development Managers in their area by growing their themed events and racedays, and we are fortunate to have someone with as much experience and knowledge as Mark in our industry."

Fullford will live in the South-east and hopes to begin his position in mid-December - perhaps in time for Bordertown Cup day on December 15.

Mr. D. Whitney, the trainer of LA PALOMA, explained that he had added a shadow roll to the filly in an attempt to have her race more generously, as it was his opinion that she had over-raced at her previous start. He added that he had ridden LA PALOMA in its work himself and was satisfied that she had accepted the gear, however, he intends to reconsider that decision after the filly’s performance today. Mr. Whitney advised Stewards that LA PALOMA would now be spelled. Mr. Whitney was advised that in the event he persisted with the shadow roll on LA PALOMA, Stewards would require the filly to trial to their satisfaction prior to accepting for a future event.
