Brett Crawford leaves Plattner racing

Apparently either Justin or Chris Snaith will be taking over. Probably Chris in Justin's name.

is this true or just rumour? I would have thought the 1st ever to go wiuld have been the jock with the soft forward and backward motion in the right hand.....not the trainer

I don't start rumours. All horses will be scratched on Tuesday. As for Karl his ride on Seminole was amazing and he has 2 ride of the month noms. Small minds easy, small minds.................

well harris

i feel sorry for brett, i dont know him or even what he lloks like but i would venture to say that the rot is not eminating from him........he is part of a team and imvho the team is not functioning very well.

I feel for him. A Met and a Gold Cup are big achievements

It just goes to prove to me that nothing in this racing game is set in stone. I have thought before jockeys and trainers are inseperable. Like Christophe Semillion and the Aga Khan or like Brett Crawford and Mrs. Platner.

Anyway I hope he keeps on training as I think he is a decent enough trainer.

Would be good to see what Chris Snaith does with such horseflesh!!!!

......Reminds me of the old Queen song. Another one bites the dust!!!!

well then at least we agree, i have done business with Mrs Plattner and her and her orginization were very proffesional. They actually paid us our bill of quantities UP FRONT for the conference centre at fancourt (providing every item on the bill was deleivered to site). So i can imagine she has no qualms about paying her staff, paying for broodmares, paying for stallions, paying for a farm etc etc so my obvious question is WHY is she imvho so ill advised regarding most of the above. I really dont think the trainer was the problem....

On the soumillion matter he now reckons he is coming to ride in the UK crazy....frog. (i know he is belgian) but seriously i dont think he will make it here.

Oh well one door closes another opens..I like Brett nice guy..I hope he goes on to do well in whatever he does.

brett already has been snapped up..brett was always on a hiding to nothing having to train offspring of 2 shit stallions in fanatic dane and lizard island..these mega wealthy owners have success then they all turn to breeding and this sours them to the game..the list is endless.good luck brett you one of the good guys in racing

no surprise form been off for a few seasons now.

I agree with Pirates.Stable was flying when they were bringing in those well bred Aussies,especially the fillies.It all went pear-shaped once the breeding started.Crawford has had very little of note to work with in the last few seasons,and unfortunately the all-eggs-in-one-basket is an almost guarenteed recipe for disaster somewhere down the line.
