Theo Green (trainer)

Theo Green (19 November 1925 – 4 May 1999) was an Australian race horse trainer and jockey mentor. He was made a member of the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2002. Some of the Australia's most successful jockeys were trained by Green, including Darren Beadman, Ron Quinton and Malcolm Johnston. All of them won many races in Australia and numerous Sydney Jockey Premierships.

In Green's honor, the eponymous Theo Green Medal is awarded to Sydney's champion apprentice jockey each year. Green trained the horse Inspired, the 1984 Group 1 Golden Slipper winner. Inspired was ridden by champion jockey Darren Beadman who described Green as a 'special person'. Green trained the winners of other Group 1 races, the Blue Diamond, AJC Oaks and Guineas.
