Paul inspects approximately 1500 yearlings each year prior to the yearling sales series throughout Australasia.
Paul's purchases each year are for Wexford Stables's clients and he had considerable success with each years intake of yearlings. These horses have proven to be winners on the race tracks of New Zealand and Australia, as well as being sold from the stable for further race track success in Asian markets such as Hong Kong

The Wexford Heath

The Wexford HeathSimilar in style to the Newmarket training centre in England, the Wexford Heath is a gently rolling 2000 metre straight track designed by Paul and runs along the boundary of the Wexford Stable's property.

Ideal for young horses as without having to take corners during trackwork at pace it allows bone density to develop without the onset of shin splints. The heath also provides a good galloping service to ready the older horses for their raceday engagements.
