NEW Trainer on the block - FANIE

4 years 6 months ago

I see owner - now TRAINER FANIE BRONKHORST having his first runners today.
It appears to me that he has taken his horses away from Paul Matchett.. Is this so ? A big blow for Paul.

I'm guessing he had 40 + horses with Paul.

I see he is training from Randjies........ wonder if he took a barn or 2 AWAY from Paul for his own horses :huh: :huh:

only OTHER owner turned TRAINER I can think of is GRANT MAROUN........... any other names come to mind ?

I think Sean Tarry and his brother ran a syndicate owning horses before Sean became a trainer. They had Divided Loyalty.

Also Hyperpaint syndicate, Paul Peter.

They have been quite a few actually.

I was going to list St John Gray but at that stage could not recall who he had his horses with. After much searching I recalled he had a horse called Stunning Kitten. The archives list Arthur Faul as the Trainer.
