2024 WRAPPED
MOST WINS FOR THE YEAR – TRAINER(S) Ciaron Maher might have won most of the trainers’ premierships on offer last season, and sits atop the table in most of this season’s, but he had to take a back seat to Lindsay Park in the race for most Flemington wins in 2024. Of the 61 stables that won at least one race at Flemington for the year, the Ben, Will and JD Hayes -led operation was the most successful with 20 , including Group 1 wins in the Crown Makybe Diva Stakes and VRC Champions Mile by Mr Brightside . The Victorians were upstaged by a couple of Sydneysiders when it came to the most successful trainer/jockey partnerships for the year, however. No team won more races together than Chris Waller and James McDonald , who combined for six wins, all at Group level during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. Among them were Group 1 wins aboard Via Sistina (TAB Champions Stakes), Switzerland (Coolmore Stud Stakes) and Atishu (TAB Empire Rose Stakes).
