Richard Collett to have Warwick Farm base

New Zealand trainer Richard Collett is to have a permanent Sydney base at Warwick Farm.

The father of Jason Collett who finished fifth in the Sydney jockeys’ premiership last season, the trainer has been racing horses in NSW during the winter including Canterbury winner Untamed Diamond..

He now has eight boxes at Warwick Farm and has appointed Quinton Cassidy as foreman.

“It’ a complex of eight stables and it’s building on what we have had there during the winter,” Collett told NZracing.co.

“We will be looking at sending a couple of maidens over who have showed their worth in New Zealand, but that won’t be until after the end of the spring carnival.

“It’s obviously very good money on offer in Australia and we’ve got shares in a lot of the horses so we’re looking for better financial returns.”

A former jockey, Cassidy has had experience in China as the head trainer for the China Horse Club.
