Congratulations to all involved

Jason Warren, at the age of thirty, is a young man with experience that belies his years. A self starter, Jason's lifelong love of horses meant that a career as a racehorse trainer was always going to be his pursuit.As a trainer perhaps Jason's greatest asset is a complete understanding of the animal that is a racehorse. This broad understanding comes from having worked in many varied but intertwined fields that fall under the sphere of racing.
Jason has just begun training outright again after a 15 month break where he worked as a foreman for Australia's leading trainer, Lee Freedman. It was a calculated hiatus from training outright that Jason used as a valuable teaching lesson. Working in such close proximity to the best trainer and best racehorses in Australia has been a huge learning experience for Jason:“I just wanted to give myself every possible chance to learn as much as I could about my craft. I don't think you could ask for any more than to be working for and be tutored by the best in the business. Although I have my own way of training horses there are definitely lesson I’ve learned from Lee that I will apply to my own training philosophies.”Jason has the right mix of ambition and experience to make it to the top in training racehorses. Maybe it will be your horse that is Jason's first Cox Plate winner?!
Jason has gained extensive experience working with horses at the revered Eliza Park Stud. He has also run a highly successful business out of his fully equipped 25 acre Moorooduc property, Coral Park, where he specialises in breaking in, pre training, and agisting racehorses. This business continues to thrive today. Jason has also of course been a racehorse trainer. He has enjoyed considerable success through training multiple provincial and metropolitan winners.
