Brooke Hansen

Based at Armstrong about 10km from Ararat, Brooke is one of Victoria's young and up and coming trainers. In her short career she has trained the winners of 97 races and more than $525,000 in prizemoney.

Before branching out on her own, Brooke learnt her trade with many of Victoria's leading conditioners. Armed with the knowledge gleaned from those educational years, Brooke started training in her own right and soon built up an impressive strike rate.

Brooke has shown to be a good preparer of juveniles with arguably her best horse being the lovely filly As I Say, with whom she won 10 races and a Group One placing in the South Australian Oaks. She has also revealed a knack of improving horses she has received from other stables.

Last season she trained Western Rockstar to victory in the Group 3 Leeton Breeders Plate early in the season and at the end of the season Brooke got him through to the Group One Australasian Breeders Crown final where he finished a super 4th
