ABOUT Michael Freedman Racing

Michael Freedman commenced his career in 1988, joining his three older brothers - Australian Racing Hall of Famer Lee, Anthony and Richard - in their training business in Melbourne. During their 20-year training partnership, the Freedman stable was one of Australia's most prominent preparing over 100 Group 1 winners, including the Melbourne Cup on five occasions, as well as four consecutive Golden Slipper winners. In 2008, Michael branched out to train in his own right when he was granted a licence to train in Singapore. Winning 468 races at a strike rate of 15%, his best galloper during that period was the two-time Singapore Horse of the Year - Super Easy. After a brief stint in Hong Kong, Freedman returned to Australia, where his stable included Golden Slipper runner-up Frolic. In 2019, Michael teamed up with his brother Richard under the banner of Freedman Brothers. During that time, based at Randwick, Michael oversaw the training of Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside, three-time Group 1 winner Forbidden Love and Group/feature race winners, Tiger Of Malay, Glistening, Queen Of The Ball & Prime Star. Michael looks forward to continuing to deliver a first-class thoroughbred training service for all existing and future clients
