ABOUT US
Headed up by Hall of Fame Trainer Mark Purdon and Australasia’s leading strike rate driver and Group 1 winning trainer Natalie Rasmussen – the Purdon / Rasmussen partnership amassed nearly 900 wins and just over $29 million in stakes before taking a sabbatical in late 2020.
Between them they have driven over 2500 winners and Mark sits in the illustrious 2000 training wins club, add to that the countless records, Group 1’s and titles and it’s not just the horses you can refer to as champions.
Mark returned to the training ranks in October 2021 and was joined in partnership by talented horseman Hayden Cullen . A key player in the All Stars team since 2018 Cullen is no novice, having secured 10 Group 1 victories in 10 months when at the helm of the Levi Road property under his Cullen Racing banner.
Behind the scenes are a passionate, dedicated and talented team ensuring all the needs of the equine stars are met.
