Hobby trainer James Elliot still enjoying that winning feeling

Enthusiastic Melbourne hobby trainer James Elliott reckons he got spoilt when he started out in the sport more than 30 years ago with a first-up winner at the old Moonee Valley harness racing track.

Elliott, who usually only has one in work, still bobs up in the winner’s circle along with a handful of placings from an average of about 20 starters each season.
