Australian Turf Club Chairman, Peter McGauran said the move by the Freedmans was another vote of confidence in Sydney’s racing and training facilities.

“This is a strong endorsement of Sydney racing to have such a successful family training partnership based at Royal Randwick," Mr McGauran said.

“Anthony Freedman now in partnership with his son continues the recent trend of Australia’s biggest and most successful stables wanting to make Sydney home.

“The Freedman stable brings the might of some of Australia’s most prominent owners and breeders."

The move by Anthony and Sam Freedman follows similar decisions by leading stables such as Ciaron Maher, along with Mick Price & Michael Kent Jr, to increase their footprint in Sydney and New South Wales.

Anthony Freedman said the move was another important moment in the family’s illustrious training history.

“I’m delighted to be able to base in Sydney for our owners but especially for the future of my son’s career," Mr Freedman said.

“The opportunity to have a stable at Royal Randwick doesn’t come along very often so for an emerging trainer such as Sam it is a great honour."
