Chief Stipe Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Multiple Group One-winning trainer Karren Zimmerman will change direction in coming weeks when she takes up the position of stable foreman for Pukekohe trainer Nigel Tiley. Zimmerman won four Group One races in her training career. She won the Captain Cook Stakes with Rodin (2004) and Cinder Bella (2000), with the latter also taking out the Kelt Capital Stakes in 2001, while Barinka recorded Zimmerman’s last Group One in the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Stakes at Te Aroha in 2011. Tiley said he is delighted to have someone of Zimmerman’s experience join the stable. “She is going to join us in about three weeks,” he said. “We advertised for a foreman/assistant trainer and Karen was very keen to take it on and we would have been stupid if we hadn’t taken her straight away. “When she sent me through her record this morning I texted her back and said ‘I should actually be working for you’. She’s a horsewoman too, her horses always look immaculate on race day. “I’ll be able to travel a few more horses and be very comfortable that I have got somebody at home that’s more than capable of doing the job for us.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
