Itauma’s trainer Ben Davison was named the Trainer of the Year for his success not only with Itauma but with Fabio Wardley, Leigh Wood and more, and he said: “In usual circumstances this is an individual award, but in my circumstances it’s very much a team effort, so I’d like to give a big thank you to Lee Wylie, Barry Smith, [and] Robert Hodgins. I’m very lucky to get to work with very talented individuals, but more importantly, fantastic characters; fantastic people. We’re very blessed to work with the people we do.”
