Guy Walter has cemented a position in the top echelon of Australian horse trainers in the last twenty years. Only a handful of rivals have produced more than 27 GROUP ONE victories and over 100 stakes wins. None can claim to have trifectaed a DONCASTER.

Since 1990 his horses have won $38m in prizemoney and he's regularly in the top three trainers on the Sydney Premiership. Significantly Guy's GROUP ONE successes have been with all manner of horses...sprinters, stayers, fillies & mares, colts & geldings, 2yo's & 7yo's!

He prepared the brilliant mare SPINNING HILL to win the 1000m LIGHTNING as a 5yo and successive 1200m MANIKATOS as a 6 & 7yo. COURT'S IN SESSION won the 1500m Ryder as a 5yo. DEFIER crowned his career by annexing the 2200m DOOMBEN CUP as a late 6yo after earlier GROUP victories from 1200-2000m. The 6yo PATEZZA led home the memorable Guy Walter 1600m DONCASTER trifecta in 2005 and then there was TIE THE KNOT! He won GROUP races from 1200-3200ms in a stellar 5 season racing life that yielded 21 victories (13 at GROUP ONE!) and $6.2m.

This talent to prolong quality horses over all distances is complemented by a string of successes with the younger brigade. Current stallion EXCITES was produced for a GROUP ONE triumph in the 1400m SIRES PRODUCE at only his 3rd start, 3yo fillies REPUBLIC LASS & WILD IRIS both won the 2400m OAKS whilst 4yo DANNI MARTINE downed a great field in the 1500m COOLMORE CLASSIC at just her 8th outing. Guy's affinity with fillies and mares was never more evident than in the 1400m LISTED TIBBIE STAKES of 2005 when he trained the first four home...SHALIMAR SKY, FANTASIA, JOHANS TOY and HENNESSY WALTZ.

Success as racehorse trainer is due in no small way to the empathy Guy developed for horses from an early age. Pony clubs, shows and stock work segued into studs and a stint in Europe before he honed his craft under BART CUMMINGS and NEVILLE BEGG. He took out a trainers licence in 1980 and promptly trained his first winner a few months later when the family owned Irish Eve appropriately bolted in at Canterbury.

Together with wife Wendy, his able assistant, Guy trains a stable of 50 horses at Warwick Farm supplemented by a pre-training facility at Goulburn. Without Wendy's constant input and support Guy's career could not have reached the heights it has thus far scaled. The same applies to many loyal and diligent staff.
