Our Facilities
Bendigo Jockey Club
At Fitzsimmons Racing, we are proud to base our operations at the iconic Bendigo Racecourse, affectionately known as the "Nursery of Champions." This prestigious venue has a rich history of producing exceptional racehorses and provides the ideal setting for us to deliver outstanding results for our owners.
Our stables are strategically located just across the road from Bendigo Racecourse, providing seamless and efficient access to its amazing facilities. This convenient proximity minimises stress for our horses, allowing them to focus entirely on their training and recovery.
Strategically located just 150km from Melbourne, Bendigo offers the perfect balance of access to Victoria’s premier metropolitan tracks and the benefits of a state-of-the-art regional training hub. The Club conducts regular jump-outs, trials, and a dedicated swimming pool ensure our horses receive comprehensive and varied training programs.
Amazing Access to Tracks
Our horses have access to the amazingly maintained tracks at the Bendigo Jockey Club, which includes access to the course proper, inside grass and three different sand tracks.
Proven Record of Winners
Our recently acquired stables, situated adjacent to the racecourse, feature 27 spacious stables. Hundreds of winners have been trained from these facilities that have been thoughtfully designed to prioritise the safety, comfort, and well-being of each horse, while enabling us to implement innovative training methods tailored to their unique needs. Our facilities also include an eight horse walker and custom circular horse pool.
Equine Services on our Doorstep
Bendigo’s reputation as a "Nursery of Champions" is supported by its vibrant equine community, which provides a wealth of resources and services. From expert veterinarians and skilled farriers to equine dentists, massage therapists, and premium stockfeed suppliers, every aspect of horse care is readily available and on our doorstep.
Recipe for Success
By combining these outstanding facilities, exceptional support services, and our unwavering dedication to excellence, Fitzsimmons Racing offers an environment where champions are cultivated and success is built from the ground up.
