Snowden Racing profile
Founded in 2014, Snowden Racing was the brainchild of father and son duo Peter and Paul Snowden. In that time, the training partnership has emerged as one of the Sydney metropolitan area’s racing teams.
Team Snowden have won nearly 30 races in Sydney just this season. Star runner Touristic is one of the betting sites’ main dark horses for this Sunday’s Listed McKell Cup (2000m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Fellow top racer Coco Jamboo will run in the upcoming Group 1 Tattersalls Tiara (1400m) at Eagle Farm Racecourse on Saturday. Listed at $16, Coco Jamboo is well behind favourite Bella Nipotina at $2.10. However, compared to the rest of the field, Coco Jamboo is good value to place at the big Group 1 race.
“Business as usual” for Snowden Racing
Despite the major shake up at the top of his training outfit, Peter Snowden says that business will be “business as usual” following Paul’s departure.
“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,” Peter Snowden said in a statement.
“We look forward to sharing this with you all in the 2024/25 season ahead.”

I am an avid horse racing enthusiast and punter. Growing up in Randwick, I have been surrounded by racing through stories from the elderly’s past endeavours to the racecourse and owners that are friends of the family. I am also a data-scientist and am fascinated and intrigued by the algorithmic approach to form. I’ve has become more involved with racing over the past few years due to simultaneously delving deeper into the sport and learning how to apply a data driven approach to punting. Beyond Racing, I am an avid NRL fan and MMA fan, the latter of which I have largely applied the same philosophy of methodical, data driven punting towards and found solid success in the MMA space and I continue to track and improve my strategies.
