Behind the Reins

A Legacy of Racing Excellence

Brett comes from a proud lineage of horse trainers, with deep roots in both Northern and Southern Queensland. Raised in a racing family, Brett’s passion for the sport began long before he could remember. From an early age, he worked alongside his father in North Queensland, absorbing the knowledge and traditions of the industry. Today, as a fourth-generation trainer, Brett carries forward the Baker family’s enduring legacy, blending time-honored horsemanship with modern training techniques.

With nearly 30 years of experience training racehorses in Queensland, Brett has built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and success. Whether preparing runners for city stakes races or country meets, his focus remains the same—achieving the highest standards in horse care, training, and performance.

Brett attributes his longevity in the industry to his hands-on, personalized approach. He believes that every horse is an individual and tailors training programs to suit their unique needs, ensuring each athlete is happy, healthy, and primed for success.
