Brent is the son of Darren and Leeane of North Arm Cove and the brother of Daniel.
Born in Maitland and raised in Grafton, Brent’s career has taken him from Port Macquarie to Albury and then to Brisbane where he has had great success riding against the likes of Larry Cassidy, Shane Scriven and Jimmy Byrne. Many wins followed including the group wins in the Gold Coast Guineas and the Eyeliner Stakes.
