Happy Sunrise Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 ....no longer together. The partnership that was struggling and lightly mentioned in another thread has dissolved. It will be interesting to see how they fare in the future. Apart from the obvious partnerships of Purdon and Rasmussen and Dunns etc, who have been the best small partnerships over the years? NZ HARNESS NEWS (Abridged) Jonny Cox will be going it alone from Tim Butt’s Premier Stables in the new season after the decision to dissolve their six-month training partnership. Cox took over the team in December while Butt was establishing himself at Menangle in New South Wales and that process has well and truly been achieved. “I wouldn’t say the last six months has been a trial period – more a transitional phase while Tim got himself properly set up,” said Cox. “He’s done that now and there’s no need for him to be spending so much time back here in Canterbury.” Before taking over at Premier Stables, Cox spent a little over a year working the mornings at the All Stars Stable while doing his own team in the afternoon. Cox will continue to be assisted at the West Melton stable by Tim’s daughter, his partner Kim, along with long time stable employee Mike Palermo and stablehand Jordan Simpson, who has just gained his ticket to drive at trials.

Brodie Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Thought Amber Hoofman and Johnny Cox did a good job. Didn’t Roy and Barry Purdon train in partnership a long time ago and were very successful. Reidman had a good partnership with a couple of young fellas Quote
Newmarket Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I always thought partnership was only temporary, until Tim was 100% settled in aus? Seems obvious decision, but yes, cox stable not setting world on fire. Looking at that article, that’s a heap of employees for that stable, maybe they have a lot of youngsters. 1 Quote

Counter Punch Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 The reference made in the story initially was incorrect. Yes, Tim has a daughter - she is currently undertaking an apprenticeship with renowned harness racing photographer, Ashlea Brennan in Australia where Tim's family is all now based. When first published the story mentioned Kim as being Tim's daughter. It has since been revised to state that it is Tim's niece, Kim who works in the stables - daughter of Anthony and partner of Jonny Cox. 1 Quote
Guest CrossCodes Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Doesn't make much difference does it? The Canterbury harness people all seem to be inbred anyway aren't they, all the same families marrying each other! Quote
