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. Statistically, the yard has maintained a solid metropolitan and provincial presence. Currently Travis sits second in the Statewide Jockey Premiership table for 2025-2026 on 54 wins, with a strike rate of 18.6%. 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. Founded by Emmah, this high-profile charity event brings the South Australian racing community together to raise vital funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis research (Morphettville).

We publish these full results daily so that subscribers can see the results of the Wizard's ratings options, and Report-content, and thereby formulate a selecting and betting strategy that suits them individually. The Wizard ratings should not be seen as "tips", rather as objective assessments that can be used to inform one's own judgement as to the relative chances of the runners in a race.

Also included are the overall results for last week and the last four weeks. The 2024-2025 column shows the WRat results for the full racing season.

This results summary is colour coded so that it is easier for readers to track the relative performance of the Top Rated (blue) and Top-Two Rated (green) ratings options on a daily, and longer term, basis. The best overall qualifier (yellow) is highlighted. Also, the single runner options are grouped separately, as are the two-horse and multi-horse options results, again to make comparisons easier.

The following table shows this week's results of alternative options with respect to possible Matrix Selectives combinations, as well as weekly summaries. These combinations are accessible via the Wizard MATRIX report which is posted to our website between 10:30am and 10:45am each day.
