For this pair, it’s a bit like the “Blues Brothers” getting the band back together.
Richard and Michael are now a partnership again, Richard training the older horses out of Rosehill while Michael nurtures the younger horses from the Randwick stables.
Their family history in racing goes back 4 generations to their great grandfather Bill “Midge” McLachlan rode 3 Melbourne Cup winners. Their dad was a trainer and a breeder.
As a team, headed by eldest brother Lee…Richard, Michael and Anthony combined to carve out their own place in thoroughbred history, winning 5 Melbourne Cups, 5 Caulfield Cups, 2 Cox Plates and 4 consecutive Golden Slippers in a tally stretching way over 100 Group One victories.
Richard and Michael have cared for some of the legends of the turf and now want to train for YOU.
