Starting out with Chris Waller, the horse then went to Aidan St Vincent, before Clint Lundholm took the reins and eventually his current trainer, Kylie Kennedy.

Owner / trainer Stephen Beatson might be telling the tale of this winner for a while. His 7YO gelding Uncle Charlie broke the maiden at start No.25 in the Ken & Roger Browne Memorial Steeplechase (3900m) at Te Rapa on Saturday in fashion that needs to be seen to be believed.
