Te Akau's Jason on Top
22 November, 2013
After a winning double at Matamata on Thursday, Te Akau trainer Jason Bridgman is back in charge of the New Zealand Trainers' Premiership table.
In what has been a phenomenal start to the season for Te Akau, Jason hit 30 wins for 2013/14 when Orinto saluted the judge on her home track, emulating the prior performance by debutante stablemate Angelica Hall earlier on the programme.
Jason's winning tally stands at 30 - with another second and third placings. Te Akau's winners have earned $735,363 in prizemoney for our owners (second highest stakes' earnings) and Jason has trained more Group and Listed winners than any other trainer - five to date. Most impressive of course is his strike rate - 4.00 is remarkable for a major stable - one in every four Te Akau starters comes home a winner.
This success is down to three main factors - buying and attracting the right horses to train, having a world class team to train and place them and of course most importantly, having an outstanding and committed family of owners that race them - thank you everyone!
Here are the latest standings sourced from New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing this morning:
