Southside Racing is pleased to announce the acquisition of EquineTrain, a privately owned, state-of-the-art racehorse training and rehabilitation facility that currently services local and visiting trainers at the Pakenham Training Centre.

The facility will be rebranded as the Southside High Performance Centre and operate under an enhanced model, designed to further strengthen Southside Racing’s commitment to delivering world-class resources for participants, horses, and the broader racing industry.

The Southside High Performance Centre will provide cutting-edge services to prepare, revive, and treat racehorses at every stage of their campaign - whether gearing up for competition, recovering from intense track work, or rehabilitating post-injury. With water walkers, high-speed treadmills, cold spas, and spacious day paddocks, the facility is designed to optimise equine performance, and Southside Racing are actively exploring innovative new therapies and technologies to further enhance horse welfare and recovery.

Neil Bainbridge, Chief Executive Officer of Southside Racing, said:
“This is an exciting step for Southside Racing. The Southside High Performance Centre will give all trainers and their horses access to the very best in training and recovery, enhancing the standard of care and performance across our racing community.”

General Manager of Racing, Alastair Dwyer, added:
“The acquisition allows us to build on the already outstanding reputation of the facility, while expanding opportunities for local and visiting trainers. It positions Southside Racing as a leader in equine performance and rehabilitation in Victoria.”

Further details about the Southside High Performance Centre will be announced in due course.
