The Tamworth trainer currently sits in 17th place on the NSW country trainers premiership, with 27 winners and $661,000 in prize money.
Last season was his best as a trainer - his breakout season, if you will - when he trained 35 winners.

A shocking injury - in which he broke the tibia and fibula in the left leg and also had a compound fracture in the same leg when he fell from a horse and was dragged - kept him out of action for about six weeks.
He also believes that the drought contributed to his lower number of winners this season compared to the previous season, although he is loathe to make excuses.
The racing season finishes on July 30.
Morgan will conclude the 2019-20 season at Tamworth on Friday, Rosehill Gardens and Eagle Farm on Saturday and, potentially, at Cessnock on Monday.
"If we can get to 30 winners it would be really good," he said. "But if not, we'll be trying to chase down that target next year."
Despite his issues over the past 12 months, Morgan said he was "really happy" with his career. Winning the Tamworth Country Championships qualifier and the Tamworth Cup for two seasons in a row is an achievement he will look back on with pride.
His "biggest focus" at present is The Kosciuszko, with Ligulate among the fancied chances.
