Sara Ryan’s rise through Australian racing has been as fast as it has been unconventional. Originally studying biochemical engineering, she made the bold decision to leave university behind and dedicate herself to horses full-time. With no background in racing, Sara worked her way from the ground up to become head trainer at Domeland, where she delivered over 50 race wins and nearly $6.5 million in prizemoney.
Her results quickly spoke for themselves. In 2023, she guided Attractable—whom she broke in and educated—to victory in the $3 million Big Dance at Randwick. Soon after, she achieved another milestone by rehabilitating the injury-prone Matcha Latte to win the $1 million Provincial Midway Final. These triumphs cemented her reputation as a trainer with a rare ability to turn challenges into success stories.
