Our Story

Diamond Racing - Horses Racing

At Diamond Racing Stables, we are dedicated to excellence in horse racing, a commitment that has defined our journey since our inception. Founded by renowned trainer Robert Dunn, who boasts an impressive record of over 2,000 winners in a decades long career, we have established ourselves as a leader in the New Zealand racing industry. Under Robert’s guidance, we achieved remarkable milestones, including winning the NZ Premiership in 2020 and 2021.

In 2021, we proudly entered into a training partnership with Jenna Dunn, Robert’s daughter-in-law. Together, they captured the 2023 NZ Trainers Premiership and are currently on track for another title in 2024, having trained over 375 winners in just three and a half years..

Diamond Racing - Our Story Image

Diamond Racing is more than just a business; it’s a family. John Dunn, Robert’s son and a leading driver in New Zealand, plays a vital role in managing our Woodend Beach Stables. The family’s dedication extends to John and Jenna’s children, who often lend a hand on weekends. The strong family ties continue with Craig Edmonds, Jenna’s father, who serves as a farrier and trackwork driver.

We also take pride in nurturing young talent, developing them into top-class horsemen and women, ensuring the legacy of excellence continues.
