Doudle, one of a wave of young Adelaide trainers trying to forge a career in the cutthroat sport of kings, said he owed a lot of his father who helped him kickstart his training career at North Shields, 11km north of Port Lincoln, before moving to Adelaide.
“Dad wasn’t a trainer himself, he wasn’t a rich man that gave me a kickstart, but he helped build me a couple of stables in the backyard before coming to Adelaide,” Doudle said. “He helped out in a lot of ways, he gave me a good work ethic and I owe a lot to him.”
Hard work with inexpensive horses is starting to pay a dividend for South Australian trainer Travis Doudle.
With a team of between six and 10 in work, Doudle says the results have been fantastic.
