I had many a conversation with Richard Freedman at Sky Channel, and not once did he hint that he might train horses again. Two years ago the bug bit him when he pre trained a few for brother Michael at Hawkesbury. Now, Richard and son Will have thirty horses in work at Rosehill.

He talks about early days on Hardwicke Stud, the beginning of “the brotherhood” in Melbourne, and the wonderful horses to pass through their hands.

He’s good listening is old Richard.
