DUNCAN HOWELLS

Talent, passion and hard work are a powerful combination and Duncan, known as a workaholic, is reaping the benefits of it at his Ashburton establishment. He has risen to be one of the leading conditioners in the country and this was reflected in his results during the month under review where he saddled 11 winners and 15 place-getters from his 67 runners.

Operating in a very competitive environment against some very powerful stables, Duncan has shown that the facilities at Ashburton can produce results in spite of it not being at the level of Summerveld which is recognised as the premier training centre in the country.

It is the effort and dedication that is the key and Duncan has shown he has an abundance of both.

Well done Duncan
