MURWILLUMBAH&nbsp;&nbsp; Starting work at a stud farm in NZ at the age of 16, learning to become a &rsquo;Breaker&rsquo;.&nbsp; By the age of 18, he progressed to Track work riding whilst still doing Breaking In, doing this until the age of 21 when he made the move to Sydney Australia.&nbsp; Here, Brad became a full time Track Work Rider + Travelling Foreman for Trainer Gerald Ryan.

MURWILLUMBAH I started working in racing from the age of 16.&nbsp; &nbsp;I went to the British racing school straight after high school.&nbsp; After Graduating, and wanting to gain experience, I then went to work for several different trainers in England, before relocating to Hungary for 12 months, at which time I obtained my jockey license.&nbsp; After the 12 months, I then decided to head back to England, it was then, that I gained employment at an ex racehorse rehabilitation centre. I took a few years out of racing, to focus on the Rehabilitation of the Horses, before realising riding and working with thoroughbred horses truly is my passion and it&rsquo;s what I absolutely love doing.&nbsp; &nbsp;I then made the biggest and best decision, to move to Australia in 2019.&nbsp; &nbsp;I worked for Lindsay Park in Euroa Melbourne, &nbsp;Peter Snowden in Sydney and finally made my way up the coast to settle at Matt Dunn Racing in November 2020.&nbsp; Here I ride Trackwork in the morning, attend the races to saddle up, and am currently a Foreperson at the Murwillumbah Stables.
