What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Cherry Taylor - Trelawney Stud: Not to take too much notice of x-ray issues most just need time and it gives you a discount buying horses. I love that.
Andrew Seabrook - New Zealand Bloodstock: My grandfather drummed it into me from a young age to always try and remember people's names. That was great advice.
John Galvin - Fortuna: Stay Humble.
Henry Plumptre - Cambridge Stud: Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you’re a fool than open it and remove all doubt!
Paul Moroney - Paul Moroney Bloodstock: Every stallion has its champion and it's usually a freak - from my late father when I was 10 years old.
Kylie Bax - Bax Bloodstock: Be nice to the assistant because one day they will be in charge.
Russell Warwick - Westbury Stud: The harder you work, the more luck you have.
Wade Smith - Westbury Stud: Expand your network and meet as many people as possible.
Bruce Perry - Bruce Perry Bloodstock: Trust your instincts.
Gallery: Industry professionals state what is the best piece of advice they've ever recieved?
Luigi Muollo - Novara Park: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
Jasmine Robertson - Ziba Creative: Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.
Cam Rodger - Entain: Take your job seriously, but not yourself seriously.
Jo Griffin - Lime Country Thoroughbreds: It’s Karaka time, so I’ll give a nod to Garry Chittick here - one of his gems: Just get on with it, make a decision and then make it work.
Caroline Searcy - Searcy Media: Never knock back an opportunity - even if it adds to your workload you never know where one thing may lead. Trevor Lobb asked me many years ago to fill a position on the Thoroughbred Breeders' NSW committee - At that point, I wasn't looking at that sort of role but in the ensuing years and on various other boards I have learnt so much about the industry and how it's managed and it's given me the confidence to back my judgement and have strong opinions about how we can successfully face the challenges racing and breeding will need to address in future years.
Eva Heron - Highline Thoroughbreds: You don't need balls for this game, but they help.
Wayne Stewart - White Robe Lodge: Shake their hands on the way up because they don’t shake your hand on the way down.
