We recently visited John Singleton’s Strawberry Hill Stud. John is one of Australia’s most successful entrepreneurs and also he is the part owner of Magic Millions Sales. At the age of 82, he decided to sell his own farm and 18 broodmares and foals, making headlines with a total price of 100 million dollars. I was amazed by the quality of the top Australian horses being offered for sale, especially the maturity of the 2yo. Their pedigrees, development techniques, and nutrition are all top-notch, and seeing horses that look like older than actual their age at this time of the year reaffirmed the goals for our stable. The facilities on the farm were well-maintained, and I was impressed by the professionalism of the staff. I hope to apply the experience from this farm visit to the development of our stable’s horses.
