John, who secured his training licence in 1981, and Gerard, who followed suit in 1985, offer the hands-on service which comes with a middle-sized stable. With 30 boxes, the pair know every facet of their charges and use their skills and experience to cater for the most docile of thoroughbreds, as well as the most difficult - and every horse between.

John and Gerard have no need to rely on stable staff when preparing reports and updates.

This hands-on approach is one valued by Moloney Racing owners.

John and Gerard also have a proven record of successful placement of horses in races where they can be competitive, be it metropolitan or provincial meetings.

It is quite a rare day when Moloney horses finish further back than mid-field; they are usually competing in races suited to their capabilities.

Moloney Racing currently trains horses by popular top stallions such as Exceedance, Blue Point,
Artie Schiller, Strasbourg, All Too Hard, Snitzel, Zoustar, Reset, Ole Kirk - plus a host of other strong bloodlines.

Another strength to the Moloney business is the ability to call on the services of top jockey Patrick Moloney, Gerard’s eldest son. Patrick rides trackwork most mornings and naturally knows what makes each horse produce its best. He is regularly in the saddle for jump-outs and trials.

Patrick’s raceday contribution is joined by the engagement of other leading jockeys when necessary or if Patrick has a prior engagement to another top stable.
