Testimonials

We have had horses with Shaune Ritchie for ten years and were drawn to the conditioner due to the high number of classic and feature races which Shaune had captured from his first days as a licensed trainer. Shaune (and now partner Colm Murray) are rarely without a good horse in the stable and we continue to support the team on a regular basis – I would be happy to recommend Shaune Ritchie Racing to any prospective owner.

Russell Warwick – General Manager Westbury Stud

Shaune runs a professional operation with excellent facilities. His great success in training has shown that he’s really inherited the family ability. I am happy to have him train for me.

Sir Patrick Hogan – Legendary Stud Master/Owner

Shaune’s horses are always turned out in great order, they’re well educated, fit and ready to race.

James McDonald – Jockey

I’ve built up a terrific relationship with Shaune and find him honest, his assessment of a horse accurate, the ride enjoyable and profitable!

Mick Dittman – Retired Champion Australian Jockey/ Owner
