BACKGROUND

Richard began training in the 70’s when he trained his first winner at Canberra at age 18 years old – at the time believed to be the youngest ever professional trainer to train a winner in Australian Racing history. He then joined his brothers Lee, Anthony and Michael in the early 80’s. During their 20-year training partnership, the Freedman stable was one of Australia’s most prominent, preparing over 100 Group 1 winners. That includes five Melbourne Cups, four Golden Slippers, four Caulfield Cups and two Cox Plates. Richard then took a break from training in the early 2000’s to pursue a career in broadcast and after 15 successful years covering racing and professional sport, he returned to the training ranks in 2017 with his brother Michael where he oversaw the Rosehill Stables of Freedman Brothers.

Richard’s son Will previously trained at Scone and joined in partnership with his father in April 2022 to form Freedman Training.
