Pre-Training, Breaking In & Re-Education

Our fully operational racetrack consists of four concentric tracks which have been developed for the education and exercises of racehorses. These tracks are maintained on a daily basis, and include an inside loam trotting track, a sand track for slow work, a turf track, and the outside track has a Visco Ride synthetic surface, providing safe surfaces for pace work and galloping.

The tracks have been designed to minimise the risk of accident and injury, and a tunnel reduces the danger of crossings on the tracks. Irrigation and drainage systems have been of major importance in the construction, and enable horses to be exercised regardless of weather conditions.
