Chief Stipe Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Tafe teacher hands out $3001 racing lesson at Morphettville Trainer Peter Ryan Jnr and strapper Caitlin Davey with Laelaps after winning the Peter Elberg Funerals Handicap at Morphettville. PIcture: Terry Hann–Atkins Photography By Trenton Akers 03:54pm • 26 June 2023 Warrnambool trainer Patrick Ryan Jr used to teach at Tafe for a living, but he gave out some free galloping lessons in Adelaide on Saturday instead as the hobby trainer enjoyed his best ever day at the track. Ryan Jr took his entire five-strong stable across the border for the 600km journey on Saturday morning to Morphettville and left with a treble, including $101 boilover Laelaps. It's not often a trainer will take their entire stable interstate, but Ryan Jr said it made sense when looking at the program. The horseman was a psychology teacher at Tafe for 16 years, before giving it up to focus more on his training, which paid huge dividends on Saturday. "I took the whole team over, hoping to get one winner and ended up with three," he said. "It was a long trip and there were races there that suited each of them so I thought we'd kill two birds with one stone. "I have a farm about seven or eight kilometres from the Warrnambool track. "I drove them over there the morning of the races and arrived on course, it was about a 3000-1 treble or something. "A few of my mates got the 100-1 (for Laelaps), I didn't." Ryan may have destroyed the dreams of punters with Laelaps he was quickly in the good books two races later saddling up $2.25 winning favourite Ferago before closing out his treble with $9 chance Rivkin in the second last. His two other runners, Big Town (fourth) and Anirishman (10th) missed the placings on the day. While he enjoyed a day out on Saturday, you won't see the horseman expanding anytime, with Ryan Jr saying he is happy doing what he is doing with the small team. "I was a psychology teacher for 16 years and trained as a hobby pretty much, which it still is really, but I got a farm near Warrnambool a few years ago and now I just do that," he said. "I own a lot of them myself and there are a couple of good mates who own some too, I'm not really interested in going commercial with it all. "My uncle is Pat Hyland and cousins are Sammy and Chris Hyland, my dad was a jockey, so I have been around it all my life really." He will likely take Ferago and Rivkin to Saturday in Melbourne next month, while 100-1 winner Laelaps will head to the midweeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Centaur Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Chief, you should take up golf. With a few holes to play Daniel Hillier was $101 (thank you very much). Considering in an interview last week he reckoned he could win one soon not bad odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
