Top trainer William Haggas has held discussions about opening a satellite stable in Sydney, Australia, more than 10,000 miles from his home in Newmarket.
Haggas revealed he had talked with Andrew Balding about a venture which would see them share a facility in New South Wales so they could target the state’s lucrative racing.
The Newmarket trainer, who steered Baaeed to top honours in Britain last year, is in Australia where Dubai Honour takes on the country’s best horse, Anamoe, in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes this weekend. Haggas won the £2.7 million race in 2020 and 2021 with Addeybb.
