Maddie has always h
ad a passion for horses, from riding ponies as a child, to owning her first thoroughbred mare as a 13-year-old, Maddie was destined to spend her life with horses. Her first taste of working in the racing industry was when she started part time for a local trainer in Warrnambool while finishing off her education. Maddie further developed her knowledge and experience by later working for the likes of Darren Weir, David Hayes and Lindsey Smith in Foreman and Assistant Trainer roles. Maddie also spent six months in Ireland at champion trainer W***y Mullins stables, and in 2019 travelled to Dubai with Brave Smash preparing the Group 1 winner for trainer Kris Lees. Maddie is well-known for her role in preparing 2015 Melbourne Cup winner, Prince of Penzance, and six-time Group 1 winner Black Heart Bart. It hasn’t taken Maddie too long to make an impact on the race track with her small team. After securing her trainer’s licence in January 2020 Maddie trained her first winner when Lil’ Angel saluted the judge in February and snared her first country cup in October when Wentwood ran away with the St Arnaud Cup. Foreman/Track Rider - Paddy Bell
Paddy Bell’s love for racing was inspired by three-time Melbourne Cup winner Makybe Diva but his career in the industry to date has been defined by his association with unbeaten champion sprinter Black Caviar. The New Zealand-born horseman began his career with Grant Searle and it wasn’t too long before Paddy progressed from track-work rider to jockey. After a short, but successful career in the saddle, Paddy arrived in Australia and began work with Peter Moody. It was with Moody that Paddy travelled interstate with horses picking up Group success at major carnivals around Australia and with Moody’s confidence in Paddy growing he would soon be travelling overseas with the champion trainers best horses. Paddy travelled to Royal Ascot in 2011 with Hinchinbrook and returned the following year with Black Caviar where the champion mare took out the Diamond Jubilee Stakes. Paddy went on to work with Ciaron Maher and Lloyd Kennewell. It was with Kennewell that he travelled overseas with Viddora, this time to Dubai where he met Maddie, who was also in Dubai preparing Brave Smash for Kris Lees. Returning to Australia the pair teamed up working for Lindsey Smith as he opened his Victorian stable based at Warrnambool and in 2020 started Maddie Raymond Racing.
