David & Emmalee Browne: Passionate Trainers with a Proven Track Record

With over 20 years of experience in the racehorse industry, David and Emmalee Browne have developed a reputation for their deep passion for racing and their exceptional ability to get horses competing at the highest level. Having achieved great success in the New Zealand racing industry, the Brownes decided to expand their horizons and relocate permanently to Australia, where they set up their training base at the Cranbourne Training Facility in Victoria — one of the best training complexes in the country.

A Legacy of Excellence in Racing

Both David and Emmalee come from rich equine backgrounds that have shaped their expertise and understanding of the industry. David Browne is the grandson of Ken and Ann Browne, both Hall of Fame trainers in New Zealand, and has been involved with horses from a very young age. This family legacy has provided David with a wealth of knowledge passed down through generations, forming the foundation of his successful training career.

Emmalee Browne, on the other hand, brings a unique background of her own, being the daughter of Jeff McVean, a three-time Australian Olympian in Showjumping. Growing up surrounded by horses and competitive sport, Emmalee has developed a keen sense of horsemanship and a deep understanding of what it takes to train elite-level athletes, whether in showjumping or racing.

Together, David and Emmalee have forged a successful training partnership that combines generations of knowledge with modern training techniques. They have developed a reputation for producing horses that can compete and win at the highest levels, both in New Zealand and Australia.

Success Across Two Countries

Since relocating to Australia, the Brownes have continued to build on their impressive success in both domestic and international racing. They’ve campaigned numerous horses with great success, including the likes of Leica Guv, Rollout the Carpet, Belle du Nord, and Monarch Chimes. More recently, their horse Elephant has garnered attention for his standout performances on the racetrack, adding to their growing list of notable achievements.

The Brownes' move to Cranbourne has been a key factor in their continued success, as the facility is renowned for its top-tier training amenities and its ability to produce horses capable of competing at the highest levels of Australian racing. With a state-of-the-art track and facilities at their disposal, the Brownes are well-positioned to continue their legacy of success, taking full advantage of the training opportunities that come with such a world-class environment.

A Young and Energetic Team

One of the key aspects of the Brownes’ operation is their young and energetic team, which helps them maintain a high standard of care and attention to detail for every horse in their stable. Both David and Emmalee are deeply involved in every aspect of the training process and are hands-on in ensuring their horses are properly prepared for race day. Their commitment to attention to detail and their absolute dedication to both their horses and owners have earned them a loyal following, with many owners trusting them to provide the best possible care and guidance for their horses.

Their passion for the sport is evident not only in their approach to training but also in their enthusiasm to bring new people into the wonderful world of racing. They take great pride in introducing owners to the stable, sharing their passion for racing, and ensuring that every client has an exceptional experience as part of their team.
