With the issue of staff training and retention a major topic in the racing and breeding industry, Bred To Win will run a series of stories looking at training courses available and how we can encourage more workers into our great game.

Monday night’s episode features Widden Stud’s exciting Group 1 winning son of Deep Field, Portland Sky plus a story on Thoroughbred Breeders’ Australia’s Fast Track Program explaining the work that goes into farm stay employment during the 12-month course.

And in the entertaining Arrowfield Stud Horse Who Made You Love Racing, leading trainer Adrian Bott reveals the champion racehorse and sire who attracted him to the racing industry.
