Track Manager - Chris Allen

Chris Allen was appointed Track Manager in April 2004 having worked on the staff for a number of years while he pursued a successful career in the saddle as one of New Zealand's leading jumping jockeys. Chris highlights as a jumps jockey included winning a Waikato Steeplchase aboard Cool Conductor and a Wellington Steeplechase on Mi Senor. The decision to take up the fulltime position as Track Manager has meant that Chris has retired from race riding although he still rides work for local trainer Lisa Latta to maintain his fitness and keep a professional eye on the training tracks. As track manager Chris leads a dedicated team responsible for the day to day management of the training facilities at Awapuni as well as the presentation of the course proper for 17 days racing through the year. With around 230 horses in work at Awapuni and busy racing schedule Chris and his team are certainly kept busy.
