Trainer of the Month – March 2023

John Buckler 

Assistant trainers seldom get the recognition they deserve but two of the best that run satellite yards at Summerveld are Byron Forster and John Buckler for two Western Cape-based trainers Andre Nel and Glen Kotzen respectively. Both Summerveld stables were in good form in March with five winners apiece but John just shaded Byron in the stats, John’s five winners coming at a 26% strike-rate and Byron’s at 25%. However, a R1 win on John’s runners will have seen a R6.40 profit.

John Buckler is Gold Circle’s Trainer of the Month for March.
