Young trainer on the rise at new base after a turbulent year

The 2024 season has brought some big highs and some very deep lows for young Victorian harness racing trainer-driver Luke Tabone – but he checked off another career highlight last week during a trip to New Zealand.

Amidst his best season as a trainer, Tabone’s life was turned upside down when, in May, his partner Laura Burrell was kicked in the face by a horse at her work for a Ballarat galloping stable.
