Herman Brown Jnr to make a comeback
4 months 1 week ago
Brown said that training today is a strenuous, all-round operational business in which only the truly dedicated can survive. “Any trainer wishing to have winners needs support from strong owners, to start. Justin Snaith is so successful because he has mastered the entire chain of his business, from the selecting of horses and high-powered backing at the sales to the breaking in process, to training, to veterinary procedures to the expert placing and entering of his runners. He manages a meticulous operation and that is why he gets the great results.”Brown has been allocated stables at the Philippi Training Centre and said: “Justin and Brett Crawford wouldn’t be training here if the tracks weren’t good. I think the Philippi tracks are kinder to horses, and Milnerton looks over-crowded.”He will be appointing members of his old Summerveld staff who are keen to work in Cape Town, and intends using the best available jockeys. “I won’t have a stable jockey just yet. I had a chat to my good friend Ryan Moore the other day. He rode winners for me in Dubai. He is keen to help in the few weeks a year when he is not elsewhere engaged, and he enjoys Cape Town. I hope he will make regular trips and take a few rides for my stable.”Brown starts with a handful of two-year-olds and said: “I will be buying yearlings at forthcoming sales to increase my numbers. It will take some time, but I should have a runner or two in the next three months. Also, I am fortunate to have some relationships with notable breeders and hope that I get support from them.”

He could be getting some stock from the Snaith owners too.
Just must watch the TCO levels (police) if the horses improve lengths like Tony's winners did from ex Cape.

He was good forum content when he was last training, not sure who got a harder time, him or Karl Neisius
