About Us

"Keeping the dream alive", Kristine and Doug have bred this latest acquisition to the Whitworth Stable.  Photo taken at 2 weeks of age, she is by Gonski and is the first foal of a Bel Esprit mare.

 

 

 

STOP PRESS:   The Stable has just purchased a 10 acre horse complex on the Stawell Racetrack, excellent facilities with 2-3 acre day paddocks, under cover steel horse yards, abundant shelters, riding arena and an excellent swimming facility.   Photo's to follow shortly, will be training from the above property after the first week in August.

 

Doug Whitworth Racing is a small hands on operation offering clients personal contact and involvement.  Your horse joins a stable with a proven strike rate and large winners to runners ration, whilst enjoying the utmost care and attention to detail.

Whilst initially mentored by Colin Little and Ian Saunders Doug has now had over 11 years of Thoughbred training experience.

Our strike rate, (Last season - Winning Strike rate of 13.51% with almost 50% of runners finishing in the first 5) is enhanced when you consider that most horses trained in this period were at the bottom end of the market to purchase.    The stable has always had a good record of selecting cheap horses to win races, below is an example;

The last 5 stable winners trained by Doug were all selected personally and include:

  • Lake View ~ Purchased $5000    Won first up 10/7 for new stable. 
  • Bad Angel ~ Purchased $750
  • Kirribilli Gold ~ Purchased $3250
  • Princess Delta ~ Purchased $2500
  • The Marauding Rose ~ Purchased $1100

Total Purchase Amount $12,600.

On sale and prizemoney won to date by the above horses now total more than $133,025 with more to come.

Whilst this stable enjoys rewarding owners with winning results off little outlay we are also looking to secure the right client(s) to help us take the next step forward.  Whatever the client, our aim is to provide you with a committed and rewarding result.
