In the 2017/2018 racing year Troy Corstens won $1,993,273 in prize money, taking his total career winnings to $10,877,949. He has 243 career wins to his name, including two Group One wins. Troy’s first involvement with a major winner was Triple Group One winner Helenus. He purchased him as a yearling and enjoyed success with his father Leon training him to the 2002 Caulfield Guineas and VRC Derby.
Individually, his first Group One winner was with Awesome Rock in the 2016 VRC Mackinnon Stakes. An outsider in the field at $18, Awesome Rock sat in second position for majority of the race before exploding down the straight and winning the race by nearly a length. More recently, Corstens secured his second Group One winner in Montoya’s Secret at Rosehill Gardens in early 2017. This was a particularly special victory as it marked the first Sydney Group One win for the father-son duo, and the first Sydney Group One win for Troy as a trainer.
During last year’s racing season, Team Corstens trained 56 winners and so far this season have also produced a number of exciting victors. Among them are the likes of Thrillster, King’s Command, Spring Choice, Runson and Thunderdome, who are all winners of Listed races and certainly have exciting racing futures ahead.
On Saturday 1 December, Corstens had an unlikely runner competing in the Group One Winterbottom Stakes at Ascot. Six-year-old Runson made his Group One debut on Saturday, much to the surprise of trainer Corstens who was thrilled to have a runner in this prestigious Group 1 event.
That is what racing is all about, you never know what is around the corner for your thoroughbred. You have to expect the unexpected, and really see it to believe it. Malua Racing Team Corstens is a patient stable that believes a happy, healthy horse best positions a winning horse. Team Corstens is excited to have the Not A Single Doubt X Countess Dehere join their stable, and sees a lot of potential in her future as a racehorse.
What makes this opportunity even more exciting is the fact that Peter Moody, legendary Australian trainer of Black Caviar, has joined the ownership in the Team Geelong Thoroughbred! Moody is excited by our Geelong Community Thoroughbred trained by Leon and Troy Corstens out of Malua Stables in Geelong, and is confident we have a very nice filly on our hands.

3) Showing great promise in her development from the start
Upon purchasing Not A Single Doubt X Countess Dehere at the sales early this year, Mick Malone, miRunners Head of Bloodstock said: “Not A Single Doubt is renowned for precocity and early speed. If you watch this filly and the way she uses herself, she has a lovely over stride, great wither set, a great overstep, beautiful hip, very bright in the eye.”
“She has a beautifully fluent action… her attitude towards all aspect of her work has continued to impress all that work with her. She handled the breaking and learning stage really well, and has filled out beautifully. We are very excited by her rapidly growing potential” said Mick.

More recently, trainer Troy Corstens has been continually impressed with her and is excited with the way she has developed, in particular with her attitude towards her work. Corstens is excited to be given the opportunity to train the Not A Single Doubt X Countess Dehere filly and sees a lot of potential in her future as a race horse.
“She has both type and pedigree, and that’s unusual and special. The best thing about this filly, and it’s something that I always look for in a filly, is that she looks like a colt. She’s got the big strong shoulders, really good deep girth. She’s very good in front and clean in the legs so that should help her when we get up and put the pressure on. She’s just a really good strong filly with a great attitude” said Troy.
The latest update sent through on the miRunners Geelong Community Thoroughbred, Not A Single Doubt X Countess Dehere, shows her settling into the Corstens stable nicely.
