MEET PAUL SHAILER

Paul Shailer brings more than a decade of elite, big-stable experience to Shailer Racing. He spent over 12 years with Chris Waller Racing, playing a key role in the rise of the stable from modest beginnings to one of the most dominant operations in Australian racing history.

Following a successful stint training in New Zealand, Paul was invited back to Australia to lead the Gold Coast operation for Chris Waller Racing. During this time, he gained invaluable experience with some of the sport’s most celebrated horses, including Winx, The Autumn Sun, Zousain, Lean Mean Machine, and Invincibella — experiences that shaped his meticulous, systems-driven approach to training.

Since establishing Shailer Racing, Paul has forged a strong reputation for developing sharp, professional two-year-olds, with multiple juvenile winners and success in races rich with Magic Millions incentives. His ability to educate young horses early, place them astutely, and deliver value for owners has become a defining strength of the stable.

After quickly becoming the leading trainer on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Shailer Racing is now based at a state-of-the-art training complex within the Gold Coast Turf Club’s $63 million redevelopment. With access to a wide variety of premium training facilities and surfaces, every horse’s individual needs are carefully catered for — all with the goal of maximising performance and long-term success for owners.
