Duncan Howells - Star of the Week

WINNING FORM sponsored trainer, DUNCAN HOWELLS was born into a racing family. Initially, he assisted his dad, and then Eric Sands for 3 years, before building up a long association with legendary trainer David Payne, who currently plys his trade in Australia. In 1999, he made the bold move to acquire his trainer’s licence and has since grown his then 20 horse string, to a staggering century-mark of thoroughbreds at his current Ashburton base. Duncan has saddled over 500 winners in his career, 5 of which have been at the highest level. His champion sprinting sensation, Via Africa earned him 3 of those Grade 1 victories and the now overseas bound filly is undoubtedly the best he has ever trained. Whilst Howells won’t be represented in the country’s premier staying event the eLAN Property Group Gold Cup on the last Saturday of the month, he has a trio of contenders in two of the day’s other Grade 1 events. WINNING FORM, SPORTING POST and HOLLYWOODBETS.NET wishes Duncan Howells everything of the best on the ‘big day and in his future endeavours.

Great choice for star of week...Congrats to Duncan,doing an awesome job..Hope your success continues forever.

He will be a even bigger star after this weekend

I think every one who is involved with Duncans stable has nothing but praise for the way he conducts his stable.I dont think he has ever bought a horse for more thanR400,000 and has had the success that he has.If some of the bigger owners bought for him they might be pleasantly surprised.He is on his way to being champion trainer for Kzn for the season.He is currently 6 winners clear of de Kock and he deserves to be Champ as he has had no real flat spots the whole season.Well done Duncan and Cathy and the team.!!

Well done Duncan

Glad to be part of your stable

Very professional and always has time for his owners

@If some of the bigger owners bought for him they might be pleasantly surprised.

Hahaha.....There are. Watch this space.

Very well Duncan - I have lost count of the winners that I have had with Duncan's yard.
Cathy bought Romantic Moon for R100 000 for us. She was a 8 time winner with black type.
