The father-and-son training combination of Peter and Paul Snowden will end their successful 10-year partnership at the end of July.
Peter Snowden released a statement late on Thursday confirming the training partnership will dissolve at the conclusion of the 2023-24 racing season.
“Paul has a young family to care for and we have mutually decided that it is the right time for him to take a step back and be able to focus on them,’’ Peter Snowden said.
“Since the establishment of Snowden Racing in 2014, we have had some incredible success together and Paul’s contribution to the business will be hugely missed.
“As for Snowden Racing, it will be business as usual at our Royal Randwick and Flemington stables as we continue to strive for success and provide results for our owners.
“We look forward to sharing this with you all in the 2024-25 season ahead.’’
