Most Trainers dont have the time to nurse injured horses or horses that need one on one attention and this is where Noel Lamey has focused. He has prolonged the careers of many top line gallopers over the years including Old Comrade, Crown Prosecuter, Cedar Rapids, Fourofakind, Le Bron, Just John, Breloch, Rembrandt, Monte Grande and Battleforce.
After many weeks of beach work and swimming Noel produced Veteran 10 yo Monte Grande first up at Wyong 15/10/09. The 50/1 was sweet and shows again how Noel can bring the best out in a quality horse.
Unlike most trainers, Noel likes to train his horses away from the racetrack. He feels dealing with horses with tendon and suspensory problems, it is best to not work them on the track as it builds pressure on them and can risk makeing the issue worse if not treated properly and in a timely matter.
Also rather than have a large amount of horses training in the one go, Noel prefers to train 1 and in some cases 2 horses at the one time. Purely so he can focus on that horse solely and their tendon/suspensory issue to get them on the road to recovery and back in work and to endeavour getting them back racing.
Noel Lamey was born on March 8 th 1956. His relationships with horses started when he was 4 years old, when he got his first pony.
His start into horse racing began with John Kelso at Taymoor Stud at age 12, where he was taught the basics, and then progressed under the wing with Pat Murray as an apprentice jockey at age 14.
Noel the got his trainer's licence at age 20 in 1976, after finding he was getting too heavy as a jockey.
His first horse as a trainer was Extra Man and won 5 races with him. He won his 2 nd start at Muswellbrook. He also won at Scone, twice at Gosford and at Taree.
He trained a winner with his second runner, and won 5 races out of his first 10 runners.
He decided to become a trainer, and remain in the racing industry because he enjoys working with horses and always has from a young age.
For nearly 20 years, Noel has made his focus with training horses with problems, mainly with tendon or suspensory problems. Some of his greatest successes are:
Just Jon 4 wins and a 2 nd (previous bowed tendon)
Breloch 2 wins (bad joints)
Lochaber Lad 8 wins 2 second, and a third (suspensory, wind operation)
Cedar Rapids 4 wins (suspensory, hard to handle horse)
Rembrandt 3 wins (bowed tendon)
Monte Grande 2 wins and 1 second (bowed tendon)
Le Bron 1 win and 1 second (suspensory)
Crown Prosecutor 1 third (bowed tendon, suspensory)
Battleforce 2 seconds and 2 thirds (bowed tendon)
C/O Sydney Morning Herald,
Beach Boy. The horse skills of Noel Lamey were again emphasised by Le Bron, runner-up in Saturday's Mt Lewis Bowling Club Handicap at Rosehill. Lamey trains at Malabar and only gets horses which are hanging together by a thread. He keeps strange hours preparing his team on the beach between 11pm and 4am, depending on the tide. He is attempting his greatest feat with the unraced five-year-old stallion Privateer, a full-brother to Old Comrade, winner of the Australian Cup. Privateer has ability galore on suspect support and, being the last blood source of Old Spice, a remarkable stallion in Western Australia, good Sydney form would enhance his worth considerably.

SCONE: Perth Cup Winner Entered For Scone Cup
Monday, 15 May 2006
: A record 214 nominations have been received for Friday's rich Scone Cup meeting.
The Scone meeting is the richest one day of country racing in Australia, featuring two Listed races, the $110,000 Emirates Park Scone Cup and the $110,000 William Inglis Dark Jewel Classic (1400m) plus the $160,000 Inglis Classic (1300m) for two year olds and the $50,000 Yarraman Park Catbird Sprint(1100m).
There 31 nominations for the Scone Cup include last year's Perth Cup winner Crown Prosecutor, who is now trained at Rosehill by Noel Lamey.
Lamey will wait until weights are released before deciding if Crown Prosecutor will resume from a lengthy spell on Friday.
"This is the race I had planned to return him in but he got a temperature last week and it put his preparation behind by about five days," Lamey said.
I had to miss a barrier trial with him and that worries me."
Crown Prosecutor was sent to Lamey by Western Australia's biggest single race horse owner Bob Peters after the horse won the 2005 Perth Cup (3200m).
The horse ended up with a bowed tendon and suspensory ligament injury, both in the same leg, Lamey said.
I have been 13 months trying to get him right.
