DARREN WEIR
-
Australia
Hailing from Berriwillock, a small town in Victoria, Darren Weir worked with many stables before taking out his owner-trainer license in 1995 and his full license in 1997.
Setting up stables in Stawell, Darren Weir moved to Ballarat in 2001 where he continued to churn out a large number of winners in the country, finally training his first Group 1 winner when She's Archie took out the 2002 SA Oaks.
Despite regularly training over 100 winners in a season, Weir would have to wait until 2013 to train another Group 1 winner with Platelet claiming the Robert Sangster and The Goodwood in Adelaide.
That was somewhat of a turning point for Darren Weir and in the 2013/14 season became the first country based trainer to win the Victorian Metropolitan Trainer Premiership.
In 2015 Darren Weir claimed the biggest win of his career when 100/1 shot Prince Of Penzance took out the Melbourne Cup with Michelle Payne on board.
