Horses trained from this property include Vow And Declare (Melbourne Cup), Shamrocker (Australian Guineas and AJC Derby), Star Witness (Blue Diamond Stakes and Coolmore Stud Stakes), Russian Camelot (South Australian Derby) and Miami Bound (VRC Oaks). Their success is no coincidence; it is a direct reflection of the conditioning environment on offer at this unrivalled property.

Known as 13th Beach Training Centre for its location adjacent to a 4.5-kilometre stretch of coastline known as Thirteenth Beach, and its proximity to the 13th hole of the neighbouring Barwon Heads Golf Course, the property has been designed from a blank canvas and developed to world-class standards.
