The Team at Purcell Racing
We are proud of our team at Purcell Racing, who all play an important role in making us the success we are today. Each one has a genuine love of racehorses, a thorough knowledge of the racing industry and a strong work ethic. We would like to introduce them to you:
Bruce Purcell, Trainer
Bruce is a patient trainer who is surrounded by a crew of capable and dedicated staff. He works closely as a hands on trainer, taking care of his charges, both the four legged and two legged kind!
Jean Purcell, Trainer
Jean is the other half of the partnership that makes Purcell Racing complete. Her example she sets to her staff is to be admired with a positive attitude and dedication to her craft. She and Bruce work closely together with drive and determination, combining their years of experience to achieve results.
Rhagan Cross, Apprentice
Rhagan is yet to ride in racing and she has recently joined our stable. We look forward to watching her learn and grow with us as she progresses with her career in racing.
Katrina Dennis, Weekend Stable Manager
Katrina has been with Purcell Racing since 2003 and is a valued member of our team, keeping things running smoothly for us.
Linda Gordon, Officer In Charge of Recycled Vegetation
As with her title, Linda is an important part of our team with a very important role. She has been with Purcell Racing since early 2008 and we love having her around.
Annie Lyon, Strapper and Presenter of Horses
Annie is our Officer in Charge of Presentation, and like the rest of the “crew”, does her job splendidly and with care and attention to detail. She is a valued member of our team.
Leanne Pelling, Foreperson
Leanne keeps the team at Purcell Racing in check. What would we do without her! She has been working at Purcell Racing since 2007 and an integral part of the team.
Jessica Wright, Race Day Strapper and General Stable Hand
Jessica has been at Oakhill Lodge since late 2008 and has settled in with the team perfectly. She is a delight to have around.
