MYRTLEFORD horse trainer Andrew Dale is hoping the final three months of the 2019/20 racing season are just as productive as the first nine, aiming to increase his number of wins to replicate his 2018/19 season.

The well-known local has enjoyed a purple patch since January, securing six wins to go with five since the start of August last year with stable star Suburbia securing three of those victories since February.

Despite the COVID-19 restrictions forcing trainers to remain mostly in their home states, Dale continues to produce top quality runners and is happy with how things are going.
