A big congratulations to long time ATA Members Dan Clarken and Oopy MacGillivray who won the ATA Sponsored BM 58 over 1100m at Strathalbyn on April 29th with the lightly raced 3 Year Old Like A Drifter by a widening 3.8 lengths.In doing so the winning Trainers have picked up a $250 Voucher to the Racing Supplies Store which has been located at Morphettville Training Centre for the last 4 months.In a race which saw 9 of the 11 runners trained by ATA Members Like A Drifter was highly impressive and has now won or been placed in 3 of its 5 career starts and looks more than capable of stepping up to Metropolitan in the coming weeks.To add a further ATA flavour to the race the winning rider, Tala Hutchinson is managed by our current State Executive Damien Wilton who was also on course to present the voucher with the South Australian president Chris Bieg.The sponsoring of the race and associated voucher provides further evidence of the ATA providing support to the Racing Industry in South Australia.

Many of these emerging participants are found in our training operations, and this award is a wonderful way to acknowledge and encourage the next generation.If you know someone who deserves to be recognised, whether they work hands on with horses, in administration, or in an auxiliary role supporting your operation, we encourage you to take a few minutes to nominate them.Nominations close on Monday 16 February.Please help spread the word through your teams and networks.

Today we acknowledge and honour Colin Webster, a true giant of Australian racing administration and a man whose contribution to our industry is quite simply immeasurable.Colin was a founding Executive Member of the&nbsp;Australian Trainers’ Association&nbsp;in 1968, he dedicated an extraordinary&nbsp;55 years of service&nbsp;on the Executive.Few can claim to have not only witnessed the evolution of the ATA, but to have actively shaped it guiding its growth from a fledgling organisation into the respected national body it is today.Colin served as&nbsp;WA Branch President for more than 30 years, providing unwavering leadership and advocacy for Western Australian trainers, before going on to represent trainers nationally as&nbsp;ATA Federal President for three years.In every role he held, his focus remained the same: improving outcomes for trainers and strengthening the industry for future generations.A tireless and determined advocate, his work was instrumental in driving&nbsp;increased prizemoney, improved trainer benefits, and better training and racing facilities outcomes that continue to benefit trainers across the country to this day.Beyond the titles and achievements, he will be remembered as a&nbsp;true gentleman. He was highly respected by race clubs, administrators, and stakeholders alike, valued for his integrity, fairness, and deep understanding of the industry he loved.On behalf of trainers past and present, we thank Colin for a lifetime of service, leadership, and quiet determination. His legacy is firmly embedded in the fabric of Australian racing, and his contribution will not be forgotten.Colin’s memorial service will take place on Tuesday 3 February Ascot Racecourse commencing at 11.00am

Australian Trainers’ Association – Newcomer Award SponsorshipThe Australian Trainers’ Association is incredibly proud to now be sponsoring the Newcomer Award&nbsp;as part of the Australian Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards.The Newcomer Award in particular is about recognising those who are just starting their journey in racing and already making a real impact. Encouragement and acknowledgement at that stage can be career-defining.Our stable staff, forepersons, riders, administrators and support teams are the backbone of what we do. Without them, there is no industry. These awards are a genuine and meaningful recognition of their commitment, professionalism and passion."I’ve had the privilege of being a judge on the Awards panel since its inception, and I’ve seen firsthand just how important these awards are to our industry. They shine a light on the people who are often working long hours, behind the scenes, and without fanfare — yet are the absolute lifeline of Australian racing". Federal President Troy Corstens saidThe ATA would like to extend a massive thank you to Godolphin&nbsp;for their long-standing leadership in running and supporting these awards, and to Thoroughbred Breeders Australia&nbsp;for taking on custodianship and ensuring the awards continue to grow and evolve for the benefit of the entire industry.The ATA strongly implores all trainers to take the time to nominate someone they feel is worthy. It matters more than you think. Recognition like this is such an important part of the game, and it helps ensure our industry continues to attract, retain and celebrate great people.Backing our people is backing the future of racing — and that’s something the Australian Trainers’ Association&nbsp;is proud to stand behind.
