Aaron Bain and Ned Taylor are focussed on continued growth as they take a successful end to the year into the second half of the 2023/24 racing season.

The Gawler stable sits equal sixth on the South Australian Trainer's Premiership, the stable having produced 14 winners from their 74 runners striking at 18.9 per cent - 11 of those winners coming in November and December.

"We've had a really good run,'' Aaron Bain said.

"Hopefully that is showing the quality of horses we're trying to bring into the stable,'' he said.

The Bain/Taylor combination have a focus on the tried horse market and quick turn around when it comes to owners getting trackside and seeing their horses in action.

"We bought six last (Inglis Digital) sale, we were sent another one and we bought seven at the previous sale,'' Bain said.

"There are plenty in the system, that's a strong part of the business model,'' he said.

"We've got a focus on tried racehorses, having people at the track and getting results, that's ultimately where we're focussed,'' he said.

They have a busy hand on their home track at Gawler on Saturday with five runners on the nine race card and Bain said continued success at metropolitan level was important for that continued growth.

"Whether it be Gawler or Morphettville, Saturday success is the key,'' Bain said.

"Of the last nine Saturday's we've had seven winners, so things have been going really well.

"We're working 25 horses and have another five at pre-trainers at the moment. We've got close to 45 on the books, the focus is to have 40 horses in work at the race stable.

"We want regular Saturday runners, the first milestone was to get to a full barn here at Gawler and we've done that.

"We want to double that in the next 12 months, to do that we've probably got to have 60 to 70 horses on the books.

"We've still got room to grow but it's not about horse numbers, it is as much about quality over quantity,'' he said.

A shining example of sourcing the right horses for Adelaide is Myrtle Creek who lines-up for her fifth start on SA soil at Gawler this weekend.

"Myrtle Creek was a $5000 buy, she's had four starts and on the verge of winning in Saturday grade,'' Bain said.

"She's put more than $30,000 in the bank already and many would argue that's a pretty good investment,'' he said.

Despite the successful end to 2023 Bain said they would maintain the same processes when it comes to the upcoming sale season.

"That's a different part of the business,'' Bain said.

"We're only going to be active in Adelaide at Magic Millions Sale and possible the Inglis Sale in Melbourne. We're not Gold Coast bound, we're not fishing in markets we can't fish in just yet,'' he said.

2023 has been a reward for effort for the dual code horseman who trained 101 harness racing winners in SA last season, the first trainer to do so in a decade, while enjoying massive success across Australia with their bloodstock arm.

"We're also working 50 pacers, we've got a lot of young horses coming through our system,'' Bain added.

"We've got some nice young horses coming out of the sales last year, a lot will go interstate but we're still getting a lot of winners here,'' he said.
