How do I buy a horse?
Current available horses, or periodic lease or syndicate opportunities, are displayed on the website. Alternatively your trainers attend the various horse sales around Australia and New Zealand and are always on the lookout for new talent. As such, they are pleased to discuss your requirements and head to the sales looking for your best option.
Rest assured that all purchases have been thoroughly risk assessed physically.
How much does it cost to have a horse in training at Macedon Racing?
The average ongoing monthly cost is around $4,200 per month per horse, which covers training, spelling, veterinary fees, transport, farrier etc. However, the monthly cost can fluctuate greatly depending on whether or not the horse is racing, in training, spelling, nominating for feature races etc.
We spell our horses onsite which reduces costs to our owners.
We try extremely hard to keep costs down for our owners, in a climate where rising costs are challenging.
How will I be updated of my horse’s progress?
Closer to racetime, you will be alerted to the nomination, weights, acceptances, and then a preview of the race by your trainer. The race results will be automatically emailed to you as soon as they become available, and any post mortem from your trainer delivered.
All owners should download the MiStable Owners App, log in with your email and create a password. It becomes a single repositiory for all of your communications relating to your horses.
Can I speak to the trainer?
Where will my horse be trained?
All of our horses are trained at Macedon Lodge in Victoria. If opportunities allow and performance warrants it, interstate racing will always be an option we would discuss with you.

What are your payment terms?
Our payment terms are strictly 14 days after invoice date. Australian Trainers Association Terms and Conditions of Training apply and are documented on the tax invoice. Macedon Racing is committed to delivering a world‑class training and ownership experience. To maintain the highest standards of care, communication, and professionalism, we operate under a transparent and consistent payment framework. This ensures fairness to all owners and supports the smooth running of our training operations. Timely payment secures your horse’s place in the program and ensures staffing, feed, and facility resources are allocated appropriately.
Can I insure my horse?
It is an owner’s responsibility to ensure that they have adequate cover for their bloodstock purchases. Cover tends to be for mortality, on or off the track, or an additional premium could be paid to cover for life saving surgery. We can organise a quotation directly should you require.
The decision to insure is subject to every individual’s risk appetite.
