Outstanding Season Start
23 September, 2013
Te Akau New Zealand trainer Jason Bridgman has had a flying start to the new season which is not even two months old!
Jason leads a fantastic team of talented and hard working people at Matamata, people who are passionate about our horses, who are proud to be part of the Te Akau team and who are dedicated to bringing out the very best in each and every one of our horses.
These efforts are well and truly being rewarded on the race track so a HUGE thank you to all of our team - in both New Zealand and Singapore - you can be proud of what our horses are achieving.
Here is the very latest New Zealand Trainers' Premiership table (source NZTR) updated after our winning treble at Poverty Bay - the simply brilliant strike rate for Jason tells the story - the best of the top 12 trainers:
Premierships are based on performances during each racing season (August 1st - July 31st). The jockey and trainer with the most wins at the end of the season are the Premiership winners. These statistics are updated daily.
