Michelle Neilson has been appointed Stable Manager for the All Stars operation with her duties combing an administrative and liaison role which will help the stable function more efficiently in a number of areas.
"I will be doing a lot of the day to day things that Mark or Natalie would have been doing such as bookings, nominations, notifications so they can concentrate more on what they do so well which is training and driving horses."
"I will also have a role with owners contacting them when their horses are trialling and racing and advising them of their horse's progress."
"I am looking forward to this as an extension of my previous experiences and I will still be available for practical help around the stables when required," Michelle said.
Michelle is a long time friend of Natalie and followed her over to New Zealand working in the stables for a while before branching out to the Mark Jones stable and latterly Phil Burrows largely with the hope of greater driving opportunities.
"I lost my Junior's licence this season and have found it hard going."
"You just drop off the radar when that happens" Michelle noted.
A successful driver in Australia before coming here, Michelle has had a good strike rate as a driver in this country and will have some opportunities in her new role.
All Stars welcomes Michelle to her new role.
Her contact number for liaison is 0279370206
