About Us

Having amassed experience from the best in the business around the world, Jack Pilkington's journey to becoming a trainer has been almost 20 years in the making.

After spending time chasing a childhood dream of being a jump jockey in both his native Ireland and in the UK, it became clear that this goal wasn't sustainable. The decision was made to obtain a global understanding of the sport, and the ensuing years were spent gaining experience in Australia, South Africa, USA, Canada, UAE, France & Japan, before settling in Australia and obtaining his trainer's license in 2024.
