Brett Crawford’s inaugural campaign in Hong Kong was a resounding success, with the seasoned trainer finishing a highly impressive 14th overall on the Hong Kong Trainers’ Premiership log for the 2025/26 season. Operating out of his Sha Tin base, he successfully established himself on the global stage by saddling 28 winners, a 7.8% win strike rate and amassed a significant HK$40,487,654 in stakes earnings.

A Quick Catch-up with Brett, Gwen and the Stable Ahead of the New Hong Kong Season
With the start of the new Hong Kong racing season just around the corner, I caught up with Brett at his Sha Tin base. Fresh off a successful debut season, Brett shared his thoughts, goals, and a few trade secrets on how the stable plans to build on last year’s success.

Q: Congratulations again on a successful debut season in Hong Kong! What are your primary goals for this second year, and how will they differ from your targets last season?
Brett: Thank you! Last year was all about finding our feet, settling into the Olympic stables, and learning how the local system works. This season, the goal is to raise the bar. We want to build on that solid foundation and actively try to be competitive in more Group races. It is incredibly tough at the top tier here, but we want to make sure the Crawford name is a regular feature in those big Sunday feature races.

Still taking it all in.

STAR MAJOR — 2026 Equus Champion 3YO C**t/Gelding

From the first steps in his racing career to the big race days, the wins, the battles and the moments that had us holding our breath... what a journey it has been.

This award is a reflection of so much more than one season. It’s the result of a talented horse, a dedicated team, the belief of his owners and countless hours of work behind the scenes.

For James and the entire Crawford Racing team behind the scenes, STAR MAJOR has been an incredibly special horse to train. Watching him step up, find his stride and ultimately be recognised as the best in his division is something we will cherish for a very long time.

To his owners, thank you for believing in him and allowing us to be part of his story.

And to STAR MAJOR, thank you for the memories 💚.

Here’s to looking back at some of the moments that made this championship season so special.

It’s been a busy week on the ground viewing horses ahead of the BSA August 2YO Sale.

James has been hard at work scouting the select draft on offer, keeping a beady eye out for the next exciting prospect.

As always, the atmosphere at the TBA Complex is a vibe, with the venue beautifully set up and the racing fraternity out in full force. It’s always great to catch up with familiar faces and be amongst so many passionate people from the industry.

The sale gets underway this Thursday and Friday from 10am.
