Staff Profile
Shaun Dwyer Racing has an exceptional team of dedicated staff who we would like to introduce to you;
The Team at Dwyer Racing , Our dedicated staff
The staff at Dwyer Racing each play an important role, with their passion, care and love of horses they are the essence that brings our stable together as a winning team.
Shaun Dwyer, Thoroughbred Racehorse Trainer
Shaun works together with the team to ensure the smooth operation of the stable. He respects his staff and their commitment to their work and appreciates their support.
Geraldine Dwyer “Geri”, Office Administrator
Geri is married to Shaun and does the office administration for the stable. She also attends race meetings when Shaun is unable to attend and is 'hands on' in the stables most days, at some time.
Troy McInnerney, Foreman
Troy Mc Innerney has been with us for several years and he oversees the three full time and two part time staff that are employed, not to mention the 'all important' race horses.
Troy manages all the 'behind the scene' things at the stables and when Shaun is absent he knows that everything will be done as if he was there.
Sally Dwyer, Part Time Stable Hand
Sally is Shaun and Geri’s daughter. When she isn’t working with her schoolwork and attending school (or more importantly to her, riding her horse) Sally lends her time and regularly helps out on race days and at the stables.
Brendan Kalinowski, Stablehand
Brendan worked for our stable in Brisbane and has now relocated to Bendigo with us. Brendon is the stable 'form' expert although he plays his cards pretty close to his chest.
Dom Rhoden, Stablehand
Dom joined us recently to get work experience so he could gain employment as a trainee steward. He now works full time and fits his stewarding duties into his days off.
Dom has quickly become a popular member of our staff.
Tegan Cooper, Stablehand
Tegan joined us as a part time employee and has since enjoyed working for us so much she has stepped up her hours considerably and become an important part of our team.
Deb WIlls, Part Time Stablehand
Deb is our 'Sunday girl' helping out most Sunday's while working at Bendigo Health during the week and pursuing her dream of training a couple of thoroughbreds of her own. We don't know how she fits all this in but enjoy having her with us on Sunday.
Courtney Pace, Trackwork Rider
Courtney joined our team in February and quickly fitted in with the stable. Her father Arthur was a jockey and now trains here in Bendigo.
Keith Tolley, Trackwork Rider
Keith hails, orginally, from the 'Shakey Isles' or New Zealand for the uninitiated. He has been a track work rider for many years and we were fortunate to 'nab' Keith when he and his family moved to Bendigo in May 2010.
Dean Mullane, Farrier
Dean does all our shoeing and is an important part of our operation. As the old saying goes "No foot, no horse".
Each horse is an individual and some require quite specialist shoeing. Dean makes sure that all the horses shoeing needs are met and each one gets his full attention.
Mitch Aitken, Part Time - Stablehand
Mitch comes to work with a us two mornings a week before school and aspires to become a jockey. Pint size and weighing in at 35kg's we think he has a very good chance of achieving this ambition.
