John Morrisey
Trainer
John’s has spent a lifetime surrounded by the equine industry. His childhood consisted of absorbing and learning about all facades of the industry from his father and horse trainer Thomas. Based at Grafton, this is where John learnt his horsemanship and training skills stem from.
Starting out with a select team of horses in the capital of Australia, Canberra, the stable soon found success – and retained it; with 22 consecutive trainers premierships to his name. Having prepared countless quality performers in this time, John’s highlights include Group 1 wins with Camarena, Lachlan River and Rockdale.
It was in 2004 when John bit the bullet and made the move to Queensland’s Gold Coast racecourse. After finding his feet, it came as no surprise to many that he was able to achieve further sustained success with three consecutive trainers titles in 2009, 2010 and 2011
Focused on providing individual care and one-on-one attention, John identifies his strengths as being a ‘hands on, dedicated and honest’ horse trainer.
Each horse is training and eating according to its individual needs which John identifies with his trained eye – having had a lifetime of experience in the game.
