EXPERIENCE WITH A PUBLIC RECORD
Let the sources
tell the story.
Yoni’s background includes exercise riding McCraken for trainer Ian Wilkes. NYRA’s August 10, 2017 race-course notes identify Yoni as the horse’s regular exercise rider.
On October 8, 2023, Keeneland celebrated Yoni’s first career win as a trainer with Arella Star. Today, owners can consult his public trainer profiles and race records, then speak with him about their own horse.
His program combines the services confirmed for this website: individual racehorse training, quality feeding, appropriate supplement options, grooming, hair trimming and handling.
