STABLE FACILITIES
Conners Racing stables are situated in a quiet street at Warwick Farm - the No 1 training area in Sydney and chosen by international giant Godolphin as their main Australian training base. The area is set in quiet surrounds and yet is only 30 km from Sydney. They are modern, roomy, clean and safe and can hold up to 30 horses in boxes and yards. A modern walking machine with rubber flooring also helps to ensure horses are stabled and exercised in one of the best facilities in Sydney.
Marc resides next to the stables thus ensuring the horses are always kept under his watchful eye. He gives every horse individual attention assisted by a team of experienced and dedicated staff. Marc also transports the horses to the races in a safe and comfortable horse trailer - saving his owners on some of those extra costs associated with racing.
Owners are encouraged to visit their horse, to attend trackwork and barrier trials and to enjoy raceday participation to watch the culmination of months of hard work.
ON-COURSE FACILITIES AT THE FARM
Warwick Farm Racecourse is set on 380 acres with five different tracks for training including grass and sand and a new all-weather Pro-Ride training track.
There is also a jump out track where horses can be given safe education for barrier training and an equine swimming pool is available for daily use.
