ABOUT OUR TRAINER
ANNABEL NEASHAM
ANNABEL NEASHAM Racing -
17 Manning St
WARWICK FARM
According to Annabel, she has always had horses in her blood, having been around them from a very young age. So, in her own words, she was always destined for a career with horses.
Annabel launched her own training career in August 2020.
Annabel was grated stables by the ATC at Warwick Farm in Sydney.
Annabel Neasham is a hands-on horsewoman
Annabel’s
hands-on approach and
attention to detail see’s her devotion to her horses go
over and above what would be expected elsewhere, ensuring the care and training of her horses is of the
highest standards possible.
Who is ANNABEL NEASHAM?
Growing up in the Northamptonshire village of Croughton in the United Kingdom, Annabel honed her horsemanship skills through eventing, show-jumping and hunting.
It was the British jumps scene that first hooked her into racing, avidly following National Hunt events such as the Cheltenham Festival.
In 2016, Annabel took up the opportunity to travel to Australia – for what was meant to be a
working holiday.
She has never left, and now can’t imagine living anywhere else.
After six months learning the Australian scene with Gai Waterhouse, Annabel relocated to
Melbourne where she entered the
Caulfield stable of Ciaron Maher.
Learning from one of the best horsemen in the country, Annabel was able to work with quality Group 1 winners such as Jameka and Merchant Navy.
Ciaron established his Sydney stables at Warwick Farm in 2018 and asked Annabel to return to Sydney to and
be in charge of the Warwick Farm operations.
This is where
Dynamic Syndications interacted more regularly with Annabel, as
she was training several of our runners for various Dynamic Syndications ownership teams.
Ciaron’s Warwick Farm stables
under Annabel’s tutelage met with
instant success.
The stable recorded over 50 victories in New South Wales within its first two seasons and was a
production line for unveiling a string of high-quality young horses such as;
Dubious, Prague, Away Game, Holyfield and Cellsabeel.
The strong results painted an undeniable picture of Annabel Neasham’s training talents.
Her two years at the helm of Ciaron Maher Racing’s Sydney stable also familiarised Annabel with her surroundings at Warwick Farm.
When making an application to the
ATC to train at Warwick Farm, Annabel was
granted 36 boxes to commence her solo training career which began at the commencement of the 2020-21 racing season. The ATC has since increased this to
65 boxes, a very rare feat and acknowledgement of Annabel’s instant success.
The MONGOL DERBY
In 2018, a notable demonstration of Annabel’s riding capabilities and horsemanship skills resulted in her
winning the gruelling Mongol Derby.
Known as the world’s longest horse race, run over 1,000 kilometres across ten days. In an extraordinary test of stamina and skill, riders spend 13 or 14 hours in the saddle per day.
Annabel teamed up with Adrian Corby, another highly capable horseman who works as Ciaron Maher’s horse breaker,
to score their momentous victory.
This supreme achievement means that Annabel can lay claim to having ridden a Derby winner – Now she desires to train one.
TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS
Already in Annabel’s first season of training, she has won the Group 1 Doomben Cup with Zaaki, the Rosehill Guineas with Mo’unga, Group 2 A.D. Hollindale Stakes with Zaaki, Canberra Guineas with Equation and the Doomben Listed Tails Stakes with Olmedo.
The stable is currently operating at a 18% Win strike rate and a 50.4% placed Strike rate.

DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS have watched ANNABEL grow, develop and fine tune her skills to become a leading force as a trainer in very short time.
To be fair, the observation was easy having dealt with the lady from the time she tool over Ciaron’s Warwick Farm operations.
It was always going to be just a decision of
when TEAM DYNAMIC would put the first of our horses into her care.
First stakes success with EQUATION
We allowed Annabel to focus on getting her own internal operations under control and for the dust to settle which it now has and at the 2021 Magic Millions National Sales held in late May / early June of 2021, we purchased two horses that have been placed into Annabel’s care to
commence a long and successful relationship with the ANNABEL NEASHAM Racing Stables.
Gr1 Success with MO'UNGA
We encourage you to consider racing a horse with DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS in the care of ANNABEL.
