Born into a racing family, his father, Ormond Ferraris, was a champion trainer in South African racing. He won the South African trainers' title on four occasions, netting 25 Grade 1 victories in well over 1000 wins with the champions Classic Flag and Celtic Grove his most outstanding performers.[1] Among his notable wins were the 1997 and 1998 Durban July Handicaps, he trained the winners Super Quality and Classic Flag.[2] The Durban July is considered to be South Africa's premier race. Ferraris has won nearly every major race on the South African racing calendar.[according to whom?]
In 2010/11, Ferraris trained 19 winners for an overall total of 251 wins. He sent out 17 winners in 2013/14 for a Hong Kong career total of 300.
In 2015, Ferraris's horse Pikachu won a double in a rare Sha Tin win.[5]
Ferraris would nab another double a year later when his horse Amazing Always won a double at Happy Valley which was the sixth win in ten starts in the Classic Five for Ferraris and Amazing Always[6] In 2017, Ferraris advocated for public notification of throat surgeries for racehorses.[7] Ferraris drew from personal experience as his racehorse Nitro Express, who had throat surgery earlier, won three races after the surgery in 2015.[7]
As of 2018, Ferraris has 397 Hong Kong career wins.[1]
Ferraris's most recent horse is BREEDERS' STAR.[8]
