Australia's "winningest" trainers last week - Spotlight on Travis Doudle
Here is the list of trainers who trained at least a double at any of the Tab meetings last week, along with the jockeys for who rode the winners. This table is colour coded to highlight the outperformers and it is worth noting these stables and the combinations.
A key factor to be considered in selection-making is the stable, and the trainer-jockey combination. The Wizard weekly "winningest" trainer report is a valuable guide as to which stable/trainer and jockey-trainer combination is currently in form.
To add to this weekly insight, we SPOTLIGHT a particular stable and post an in-depth coverage of its record with different riders, over a period of two years.
The Jockey/Trainer combinations that are included here are based on the following criteria: The Jockey/Trainer combination is listed when a jockey's record shows at least 2 wins when riding the Wizard top-rater, or at least 3 wins when riding the race favourite, or 4 wins if the runner is in the $2.00 to $5.90 odds range, for that stable. Also included are the overall percentage stats for the jockey when riding a Wizard top rater or race favourite, for any stable. Note, that these stats cover the rider's results in all races, irrespective of location.
Travis Doudle is a young South Australian trainer based at Morphettville who is emerging as one of the more progressive and successful trainers in the state.
Background and family in racing
Travis originally rode as a jumps jockey in Victoria before turning to training. This background as a rider has helped shape his practical approach to training, with an emphasis on understanding how horses feel under pressure and tailoring work accordingly. Travis commenced training in 2012, recording his first winner, The Champion, at Port Lincoln in November of that year. travisdoudleracing.com Kurrinda Bloodstock

Key jockeys and race performance
Riding arrangements have included a mix of senior and apprentice jockeys, with riders such as Ben Price and Caitlin Tootell being to the fore.

His strike on provincial and country tracks is even more impressive at 19.8% and 28.9% respectively.
Major wins and highlights
Travis has secured Listed wins. Struck By provided Travis with two of the most important victories of his career when winning the Listed CS Hayes Memorial Cup at Morphettville in 2021 and the Listed Christmas Handicap in December 2023.
Training style, placement and preparation
Travis is known for using unconventional but horsefriendly environments such as Goolwa Beach and Kuitpo Forest to keep his team mentally fresh and physically sound. A hallmark of the stable is patience and placement. Travis has built much of his success by sourcing tried horses, improving them through tailored conditioning programs, and placing them where they can be competitive. He often targets suitable country and provincial races before progressing horses into metropolitan company. facebook travisdoudleracing.com
Other activities and recent developments
Beyond his day-to-day training operation, Travis is actively involved in philanthropic endeavors tied directly to the racing community. Alongside his wife Emmah, the stable heavily supports the annual Cystic Fibrosis Race Day Luncheon at Morphettville.
