The continued expansion of Eliza Park took another leap forward with the today\u2019s announcement that the stud had added a fifth Victorian property to its portfolio.
The latest acquisition \u2013 a dedicated foaling down facility and walk in farm \u2013 is based in Northwood Road, Seymour and was formerly known as Newlands Thoroughbreds\/Wadham Park.
The new farm will now be known as Eliza Park Northwood and encompasses 470 acres of prime North Eastern Victoria real estate and boasts world class facilities.
\u201cWe\u2019re very excited at the opportunity to shift our foaling unit to Eliza Park Northwood as we again expect to foal down some 250 of our clients mares this spring,\u201d Eliza Park CEO Cameron Croucher enthused. \u201cThe facilities are ideal and there will be little to no disruption in making the transition.
\u201cEliza Park Northwood\u2019s close proximity to all the major stud farms will also allow us to walk on clients mares on their behalf and, naturally, we\u2019ll be using our fleet to transport mares to the Kerrie property as well.\u201d
Eliza Park Kerrie will continue to be the hub for stallions, nominations, marketing, administration and a flourishing racing division, while the adjacent property \u2013 Eliza Park Nardoo \u2013 houses the dry mares and spelling racehorses.
Eliza Park also has two other properties in the North East \u2013 Eliza Park Nagambie, dedicated to rearing young horses, and Eliza Park Smithfield, a purpose built farm to house yearlings and weanlings for the operation\u2019s burgeoning sales arm.
\u201cEliza Park Northwood is an outstanding farm with much of the infrastructure already in place,\u201d Croucher points out. \u201cThe manner and speed at which each facet of the organisation is growing, necessitated the move.
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to think that just on a decade ago our stallions covered just 187 mares \u2026 70 of them owned by Eliza Park\u2019s principal, Lee Fleming.
\u201cLast year, our stallions covered 1100 mares.
\u201cThe important thing to remember is that Eliza Park\u2019s expansion is purely client driven. It\u2019s paramount that we offer clients a professional and dedicated service for all thoroughbred requirements: adding this property to our portfolio allows specialist facilities for each component of the thoroughbred breeding business.\u201d<\/p>\n
