In keeping with our policy of introducing country trainers on the podcast, it’s a delight to chat with Ross Stitt who’s been churning out the winners from his Taree stable for more than four decades.

One of 9 kids from a dairy farming family, young Ross started his working life doing a milk run around town.

His fascination with horses led him to a full time career as a trainer. His results on northern NSW tracks have been spectacular, and he’s got a healthy strike rate in the big smoke too.
