Brisbourne Racing is run by Ben Brisbourne, a professional thoroughbred racehorse trainer based at Wangaratta Racecourse in North East Victoria, Australia.
Ben is 31 years old and hails originally from Shropshire in the United Kingdom. The son of retired trainer Mark Brisbourne, Ben was raised in a racing and training environment.
Ben started to take a more serious interest in racing around the age of 16. He rode his first winner as a jockey two days after his 17th birthday. He worked for his father for two years and then worked for National Hunt trainer Nicky Henderson.
Ben’s passion for flat racing drove him to make the move to Australia in 2013. Ben worked as Senior Foreman for five years for Lindsay Park at their Euroa base. Working alongside David Hayes and Tom Dabernig, he helped to nurture the careers of some of the best horses in Australia.
It is Ben’s competitive nature that led him to pursue a training career of his own. He took out a training license in 2018.
