Andrew Dale Racing has claimed the 2025/26 Southern District Racing Association (SDRA) Trainers’ Premiership, finishing the season with 37 winners across Southern New South Wales.
The premiership is Andrew Dale’s third SDRA title, adding to his previous successes in 2021/22 and 2024/25, and further cements the Wangaratta-based stable as one of the leading stables in the region.
Across the Southern Districts, the stable produced 37 winners at an impressive 15% runners-to-winners strike rate, highlighting another season of consistency and success.
The campaign featured a number of standout performances. Eamonns Memory completed a memorable Country Cups treble with victories in the Berrigan, Jerilderie and Deniliquin Cups, while Copperfield proved himself a genuine country cups performer by taking out both the Moulamein Cup and Tumbarumba Cup. Brenlyns Legacy also enjoyed a breakout season in Southern New South Wales, reeling off three consecutive TAB victories.
Andrew Dale Racing also enjoyed outstanding success at Wagga, recording seven winners at the premier Southern Districts venue during the season. The stable’s success extended across both states, reaching the 50-winner milestone across New South Wales and Victoria.
The stable was well served by its riders throughout the season. Cory Parish partnered 10 winners from 71 rides, while John Kissick enjoyed an exceptional strike rate, riding five winners from just 10 rides.
The premiership is another fitting reward for Andrew Dale, his dedicated staff, loyal owners and stable supporters following another outstanding season.
