Young Newcastle trainer Darren Smith and Dynamic Syndications have a tremendous working relationship and this is evident in the constant stream of winners being produced from the stables.
Darren's skill set is evident in his tremendous statistical results which have him currently in 5th position on the NSW Trainers Premiership for Number of Winners (26).
- Chris Waller 48
- Peter Snowden 44
- Gai Waterhouse 43
- Guy Walter 27
- Darren Smith 26
Add to that statistics is the NSW Strike Rate Premiership where in the Top 100 Trainers in NSW with 50+ runners, Darren is currently running 2nd with a remarkable 22.61%.
- G Wright 56 runners 26.79%
- Darren Smith 115 runners 22.61%
On the Australian Trainers Premiership, Darren is currently in 14th position for Number of Winners

Darren is 4th on Strike Rate in the TOP 50 Australian Trainers.
- G Wehlow 28.81%
- John Morrissey 25.97%
- Paul Mesara 24.36%
- Darren Smith 22.61%
This is a remarkable effort for a young man training out of Newcastle with just 50 boxes mainly full of rejects or crocks. It's also a credit to his dedicated team that support him and too his racing manager Dave Dyson who keeps the administration pressures off Darren so the trainer can concentrate on his horses.
Even more remarkable is the fact that Darren has been the go to man with city cast offs or rejects when owners are desperate to get something out of their non performing city trainer's horses.
Darren and Dean have been mates for over 20 years since he first started training. Together we have had many great days and great results at the track.
However under the Dynamic Syndications banner, Darren has received most of our horses that have either gone sore in city stables or the trainers can't seem to get to go. With these, he gives them a lot of TLC and wherever possible, they make it back to the races with some outstanding results.
Obviously the main flag bearer to that cause is Atomic Force however other notable city winners he turned around for us include Midnight At Acsot, She's A Rock Star, Handsome Stash, and truck loads of provincial wins.
Currently Darren sits at 49 wins for Dynamic Syndications horses and we are looking forward to notching up our 50th result.
Darren has had 2 runners this week miss out on racing as the wet weather has caused havoc and the meetings were abandoned.
On Saturday, Darren saddles up 2 runners at Canterbury (weather permitting). Both Atomic Force and Superior Instinct and they look well placed. We are hopeful that our 50th success under Team Dynamic is not too far away.
