As Alex Ashwood ticks off a major career milestone in the sulky, he already has plans to give up driving and focus on life as a full-time trainer.
The Hobart-born reinsman chalked up victory number 500 in the cart aboard Rocknroll Rhylee at Mildura this afternoon, and will kick-start his own training journey when he takes Still Hungover to Tabcorp Park Melton tomorrow.
The 27-year-old has long been known as a major part of the Kate Hargreaves training operation in Shelbourne, but this horse will be the first starter in Ashwood’s name when she competes in the Allied Express Blossom Lady.
