The Lofty Group

The Lofty Group The Lofty Group stable complex offers premium accommodation for thoroughbreds and is conveniently situated opposite the Cranbourne training track.

The group are expanding the available accomodation and building stables to specification. After 40 + years in property development and the construction industry Paul Lofitis decided to pursue his other lifelong passion and so he purchased a few thoroughbreds. He was not interested in joining a large stable and so was fortunate to come across Julius Sandhu, a small boutique trainer in Cranbourne. P

aul was taken with Julius’s genuine love and affection for his horses and his endless hours of hands-on dedication. He knew that his horses would be in safe hands with Julius. In 2019, with his background in property development, a growing love for his horses and a vision, Paul purchased the old Mick Kent training facility, located directly opposite the Cranbourne training track. Since then, LTG has improved the amenities and completely overhauled the facility, upgrading all the horse boxes and day yards as well as the landscaping. LTG now owns over 30 horses including 3 brood mares, and a number of weanlings. The property is constantly growing with 3 trainers already occupying the site. With increasing demand, LTG is now expanding further with an additional 32 boxes, including day yards, a horse walker, wash bays, tie- ups, a treadmill, security systems, and anything that is required by the onsite trainers. The group's mission is to build a state of the art facility with all that is required to ensure and maintain the health and wellbeing of all the horses, while in turn providing trainers and owners with the convenience of direct access to all onsite and offsite facilities.

Lofty Group’s Second Stallion - Lofty Arch | Now standing at Maluka Stud

A Snitzel c**t from a blue-blooded family, Lofty Arch combined early speed with a versatile, international pedigree.

From just four career starts, he delivered two wins and three stakes performances, including:
    •    Cranbourne Maiden – $100k Inglis Bonus Race winner on debut
    •    Gothic Stakes – Listed Winner
    •    Zeditave Stakes – Group 3 runner-up

Sadly retired early due to bilateral tendon injury following his autumn prep, Lofty Arch is a Group-performed juvenile/miler type—well suited to sprint-bred mares.

His natural class and turn of foot remain clear.
Available for 2025 coverings
Standing at Maluka Thoroughbreds
Fee: $5,500 inc. GST

Private treaty and incentive-based arrangements considered
