WELCOME TO DOMELAND

WHERE TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION

ABOUT US

Domeland has enjoyed success in Australian racing for more than 25 years, from the deeds of Group One-winning star Northern Drake in the late-1990s through to the victory of Attractable in the $3 million Big Dance at Randwick in 2023. With the purchase of well-bred yearlings and the expansion of its broodmare band, Domeland has emerged in recent seasons as one of the most prominent stables in Australian racing. Under the guidance of Head Trainer Sara Ryan, Domeland places the care of its horses at the centre of all that they do, mixing innovation with traditional training methods to produce exceptional results.

Our Facilities

Domeland maintains high quality facilities on the Central Coast of New South Wales to provide its horses and staff with the best possible experience. Domeland’s showpiece is its 260-acre property at Kulnura, about 90km north of Sydney, which features a 3000m grass track that enables its equine athletes to gain fitness and thrive in a natural environment. Operating in conjunction with stables at Wyong Racecourse, the two facilities provide Domeland with the capacity to have more than 40 horses in work at any time.

DOMELAND’S FUTURE

Domeland’s head trainer oversees all of the stable’s runners from yearlings through to those in full work and competing in major carnivals. Sara came to racing with an equestrian background that provided her with unique skills within the racing industry. Sara can ride her horses in their trackwork, assisting them in developing the equestrian skills that complement their racing performance. Her innovation and attention to detail have helped Domeland’s runners to reach the top levels of Australian racing.   Sara spent time with the likes of three-time Olympian Vicki Roycroft learning her craft through eventing and showjumping. She came to racing to ride trackwork and continued on in the sport, teaming with Domeland in 2019 to assist in pre-training their younger horses. At the time, Domeland’s horses were transferred to trainers in Sydney and Melbourne when they reached racing level.   In 2023, Domeland decided to bring all of their horses under a Head Trainer, providing Sara with the opportunity. She showed her quality in the coming months, preparing Attractable to win the $3 million Big Dance (1600m) at Randwick in November. All the while, Sara has continued to build the Domeland team while notching an excellent winning strike-rate.
