One of the country’s largest racehorse training properties, Merlin Park, just over an hour south-east of the Melbourne CBD, has come onto the market for the first time in 18 years and may become a housing development site.

Hundreds of racehorses have been trained at the property in Victoria’s equine heartland, including champions Weekend Hussler and El Segundo. The facility has also worked with esteemed trainers such as Rob Griffiths, Mick Kent and Colin Little.
