John Symons & Sheila Laxon are both Group 1-winning trainers in their own right, but are yet to taste Group 1 success since they formed a training partnership in 2016.

Symons claimed both the Doomben 10,000 and Blue Diamond Stakes with Bel Esprit in his time as a trainer, while Laxon became the first female Melbourne Cup winning trainer when Etereal completed the Caulfield Cup/Melbourne Cup double in 2001.

The training duo will have Knight’s Choice running in the 2024 Melbourne Cup, and they will seek to claim their first Cup as a partnership.
