Hills Thoroughbreds - Racing & Performance

01/05/2026

📣 INBOUND UPGRADES 📣

It’s been pretty quiet on the socials front, we can’t deny that! Fear not, plenty has been going on behind the scenes 🙈

Our 4 horse walker is slowly coming together alongside our 8m wide private hill track 💪🏽

With these two additions we will have an extremely well rounded training facility!
- Next to private training facilities at Bairnsdale Race Course (three trainers, two track riders)
- 20m x 60m Sand Arena
- 4 Horse Walker
- Large Round Yard
- Hill Training Lane
- Eastern Beach
- Eagle Point/Tambo Bay/Wattle Point Swimming

Not to mention our two brilliant lead ponies (both retired from racing!) who put in the hard yards if some lighter work is required.

We currently have 2 Racers, 1 Rehabber, 2 Broodmares, 2 Retrainers, 3 Performers and 3 Nannies 🙌🏽 We look forward to making our return to the track with Eye Succeed this month and hopefully a cheeky purchase somewhere in the mix 💰🤭

I look forward to returning!

Go Go Margo or Lost in the Echo might even get some time in the sun 🥰

Racing Victoria (RV) has reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to equine welfare with the return of the Off The Track Carnival hosted by Boneo Park, which will be held from 11–13 September 2026 with a format increased in scale and ambition following a hugely successful inaugural year. ⬇️

Go Go Margo & Lost in the Echo hit the trails this morning 🌳 both behaving impeccably in a group.

It’s been very quiet on the social front lately…and racing, another horse retired behind the scenes leaving us with just Eye Succeed and Son of Magnus in work.

These two are just heaven to work with, despite a change in order during one of our turns they never bicker or argue…it makes for a very peaceful morning ❤️

NEW STABLE PURCHASE - EYE SUCCEED

4yo Mare from Lindsay Park.

‘CeCe’ pipped her maiden in her second start after an impressive cut across the field to come down the outside like a freight train 👏💪

Son of Magnus & Go Go Margo had a barrier refresh yesterday!

She led the charge and he followed with me on foot. A quick pat and off they went 💪👏

Mickey thought he'd demonstrate why we always lunge first when we use a new saddle 🤭🤭 Can you see why Zeddy passed lead pony school?
