Louis Goosen

Training racehorses can be equated to a game of snakes and ladders. No sooner have you climbed the ladder than the dreaded snake swallows you and it’s all the way down. Some snakes are shorter than others but Louis Goosen has been swallowed by a few snakes in recent months with his relatively small string hardly hitting the boards. But you can’t keep a good man down and it all change for the good last month as his 20 runners produced five winners. Louis is climbing the ladder again with his string having turned the corner and his ‘Barbie’ colours to the fore.

Louis is Gold Circle’s Trainer of the Month for September.
