Mitch Freedman

Racing was always in Mitch Freedman's blood, despite taking a slight detour from family tradition. His grandfather was a bookmaker and his father worked in racing. He worked for Victorian trainers Kathryn and Craig Durden, Andrew Payne, and Dan O'Sullivan before becoming foreman at a leading Warrnambool stable, where he cared for talented horses including dual Group 1 winner Platelet, May's Dream, and Puissance De Lune. Mitch also travelled overseas studying David Simcock and Andrew Balding's European training techniques, bringing a global perspective to his craft.
