Anthony Freedman
Anthony has been an integral part to the Freedman training empire since the mid 80's. During this time Anthony, Richard and Lee (under Lee's license) won a remarkable five Melbourne Cups, which is bettered only by Bart Cummings. In addition to those Melbourne Cups the Freedman team went on to win 4 Caulfield Cups, 4 Golden Slippers, 8 Derbys, 11 Oaks, 2 Cox Plates and many other feature Group 1 events.
Anthony took out his own license in the 2011-2012 season, and almost gave the brothers their sixth Melbourne Cup winner when Lucas Cranach finished a game third in the 2011 Melbourne Cup behind Dunaden. Anthony trained his first official Group 1 winner when Mawingo won the 2012 Doomben Cup on May 19, before Lee and Anthony re-joined forces again in 2014. Since this time the brothers trained an incredible 400 winners including Group 1 wins with Our Ivanhowe in the Doomben Cup and Ranvet Stakes.
In 2017, Lee took a contract to begin training in Singapore with Anthony taking over the reins again.
