HRNSW presents a chat with respected trainer/driver Ashlee Grives who’s currently going through a very sad time.
Ashlee explains the debilitating colic attack which struck her wonderful race mare Ameretto, and two subsequent surgical procedures.
Ash reflects on the day she paid $3500 for a filly destined to win $565,000, and a coveted Gr 1 The Queen Of The Pacific.
The talented trainer explains her decision to move Ameretto to a Melbourne stable at the height of the mare’s powers.
Ash reveals she has a foal out of Amaretto thanks to the wonders of embryo transfer.
She reminisces about her earliest days in the sulky and a job with the famous Randwick Equine Vet Centre.
Ashlee has never forgotten the day she became the first NSW female driver to reach 100 winners in a season.
She talks about her husband’s transition to the care and management of harness horses. Ryan was a builder/bricklayer by trade but had to learn about horses in a hurry.
Ash analyses her current role as a horse trainer and the responsibilities of motherhood.
