Spirited Halo 26/9/09

Spirited Halo Then Daylight
The Bel Esprits have won one hundred and thirty five races and none have won as easily at Spirited Halo did at Wangaratta today.
With Matt Pumpa on board this five year old spreadeagled the field to win by nine lengths on a track that was downgraded to heavy 10 just before the race started. On the Peninsula Bloodstock web page I found the story on the trainer who has won two races with his last three starters.
John White (pictured right), at the age of 32, is a young man with experience that is paramount to any young trainers career. A self starter John's lifelong passion and love of horses from an early age meant that a career in racehorse training was the only option.
He has seen himself grow from a stable hand in NSW for trainers such as Max Lees and Paul Perry to Head Foreman for Australia's Leading Trainer Lee Freedman.John has gained extensive and practical knowledge over the past 6 years, and is very realistic about the necessity to run a successful and profitable business as being paramount to any young trainer's career.
John is an excellent horseman, his greatest assets being his complete understanding of the racehorse, hands on care, sharp eye and attention to detail.John has been very fortunate to have had the experience to work with Hall Of Fame and best trainer and best race horses such as Alinghi, Special Harmony, Mummify and of course the ultimate in Makybe Diva. John knows what it takes for a racehorse to compete at the highest level and has the work ethic to compliment this.
After a three and a half year stint Freedman, John decided that it was time to put all the knowledge and experience into practice and devise his own training regimes and bring them to fruition.John gained his trainers license in Feb 2007, 'took a punt' and branched out on his own.
He has enjoyed considerable success through training multiple provincial and metropolitan winners. The passion, desire and the drive to succeed will see John live his life long dream of becoming a successful racehorse trainer and achieve results on the racetrack
