Emerging Tasmanian trainer Jessie Bazan is quickly establishing herself as a name to follow in the state’s racing ranks.

Since saddling up her first runner in June 2023, Bazan has wasted little time making an impact, preparing 46 winners in just under two seasons of training.

Her breakthrough victory came in September 2023, and from there her stable has continued to build momentum, with a growing team of horses and consistent results across the Tasmanian circuit.

Operating out of the Brighton training centre, Bazan has shown a keen ability to place her horses to advantage, while also improving gallopers sourced from other stables — a trait that has not gone unnoticed.

The standout performer in her care to date has been Silver Dagger, a mare who has given the stable valuable black-type success.

Silver Dagger claimed victory in the prestigious Thousand Guineas in Hobart and has since proven her class at stakes level, finishing:

Second in the 2025 Aviso TAS Insurance Brokers Strutt Stakes (LR)

Third in the 2026 Kevin Sharkie Mystic Journey Stakes (Gr.3)

These performances have cemented her position as the flagbearer of the Bazan stable.

Off the track, Bazan and her partner Neil Walsh of Tasmanian Bloodstock have also been active at this year’s Magic Millions sales, securing a number of yearlings. Shares in several of these purchases are now available, providing opportunities for owners to become involved with the stable.

Bazan has also developed a strong on-track association with apprentice jockey Jabez Johnstone, with the pair combining for a number of winners, further highlighting the stable’s upward trajectory.

Still in the early stages of her training career, Bazan’s results point to a bright future. With a growing strike rate, a quality headline horse, and an expanding team, she is firmly part of the next generation of Tasmanian trainers making their presence felt.
