The Wizards of Pukekohe: Kennedy and Noble’s Winning Formula

Pukekohe has proven to be fertile ground for both jockey Warren Kennedy and trainer Lance Noble. They have proven to be winning wizards at Pukekohe in their own right but of course much of their success has come together given the South African’s Cambridge Stud riding agreement.

Warren Kennedy: A Model of Consistency

Kennedy’s stats at Pukekohe speak for themselves. With 34 wins from 138 rides (a 24% strike rate), he’s operating at nearly double the average success rate of his last 100 rides, which sits at 13%. So whilst it hasn’t been a “premiership winning” start to season 2024/25, Pukekohe is “his track”.

Punters following Kennedy at the South Auckland circuit have been handsomely rewarded as well, with a profit on turnover (POT) of 47%.

Lance Noble: A Trainer in Top Form

Lance Noble’s training record is equally impressive. Over the past decade, his strike rate sits at 12.2%, but at Pukekohe, he has turned that up a notch with 25 winners from 109 starters, a winning percentage of 23%. Those backing Noble’s runners have enjoyed a healthy 23.9% POT, further emphasizing his knack for preparing horses to peak at this venue, close to his Byerley Park training home.

The Power of Partnership

The magic still happens when Kennedy and Noble combine forces. Together, they’ve notched 30 wins from 137 starts, including 22 wins from their last 100 runners. The success had by jockey and trainer together is undeniable, and their runners are a "must-watch" in any Pukekohe race.
