Hawkes Racing Makes Top 10


As a punter do you follow a stable? If not, maybe you should, so here’s a list of the 10 most in-form stable operations in Australia at the moment.


To make our top 10, a trainer had to have at least 10 starters over the past 21 days and the list is headed up by West Australian horseman Michael Lane, who’s 15 starters have yielded seven winners at a strikerate of 2.14 runners to winners.


The Hawkes Racing team have been flying along for the past few months and they are striking at 2.16 with six winners from their last 13 starters, an amazing achievement considering they have stable operations at both Rosehill and Flemington.


The Northern NSW town of Ballina houses the stables of two of the top 10 with the Sue Birney and Bill Pholi stables, third and fifth respectively, on the list.


Birney has been training a winner ever 2.4 runners while Pholi’s strikerate is an impressive 2.71.


Queensland is represented in the top five by leading Sunshine Coast trainer Stuart Kendrick, who splits the Ballina duo with a win rate of 2.5.


Here is the top 10 strikerate trainers in Australia over the past 21 days.
