Trainer, Staff & Facilities
 Gary Portelli is one of Sydney's premier trainers. With a stable full of talent, Gary is a regular in the winner's circle at Sydney metropolitan and provincial tracks. Team Portelli has also taken their winning formula to Melbourne where satellite stables are based. Although horses are based in Sydney, having stables in Melbourne provides a distinct 'edge' in allowing the Portelli team to take full advantage of the prize money on offer in Australia's two premier racing states.
Warwick Farm boasts state of the art training facilities and is home to some of the country’s most successful training operations.
Team Portelli has access to some very talented jockeys, some of them being Blake Shin, Nash Rawiller, Jeff Lloyd, Chris Munce, Michael Rodd, Corey Brown, Hugh Bowman, Peter Robl and Jay Ford. Gary Portelli's biggest success to date was that of the very smart filly Rena's Lady winning the 2006 Group 1 AJC Oaks. More recently, Gold Trail scored an emphatic win in the Group 1 Railway Handicap Stakes. Gary has produced many city winners including include Over The Wicket, Around The Wicket, Triple Crown, Koblenz, Mirrasalo, Delago Bolt, Allervite, Sacred Orders, Something Anything, Somepin Anypin, O'Crickey, Gold Trail, Hairy, and Aristocratico just to name a few.
One of the better advantages of working with Portelli Racing is Gary's ability to spot the talent in the sale yard without 'breaking the bank'. Group winners such as Something Anything (Group 2 Villiers Stakes), Rena's Lady (Group 1 AJC Oaks & Group 3 Adrian Knox Stakes) and Gold Trail (Group 1 Railway Stakes, Group 2 The Shorts Stakes, Listed Canterbury Stakes & 3rd in the Group 1 Galaxy Stakes) were purchased for as little as $40,000 at the Inglis and Magic Millions sales. Essentially, this why we involve Gary Portelli in the selection of our yearlings.
There is no doubt that the 2010\2011 season is shaping up to be the most successful to date, with an array of talented horses making their way the stables. We are very excited to have Portelli Racing apart of the Elite Thoroughbreds team. We are certain that Gary's solid and consistant record will continue to flourish and have a positive influence on your racehorse.

Wild Oaks is a new spelling and pre-training facility which is located at the Oaks, NSW. It is made up of large stalls, generous size paddocks, and a wide grass track with an 800m straight. The facilty also consists of a water walker, which is the only one of its kind in NSW.
The water walker has been hailed as a 'God send' by many top Sydney and Melbourne trainers, including team Portelli. Trainers use it to aid in keeping a horse fit without galloping during a preparation, or to help a horse lose weight and increase fitness prior to entering the stables for a preparation.
More importantly, the water walker has become a necessary tool when helping horses through the rehabilitation process if they have suffered an injury or setback. The general idea is to keep them buoyant, resulting in little pressure or weight being applied to the injured area. ..........................................................................................................................................
Muskoka Farms is a specialist thoroughbred pre-training and education property which is set amoung the picturesque landscape of Wisemans Ferry in NSW. It has been home to many recent champions including the likes of Theseo, Sebring & Rangirangdoo just to name a few.

Attention to detail is the paramount ingredient when educating young thoroughbreds and the team at Muskoka Farms do just that, ensuring that horses have all the nessessary tools in order to compete on the race track to the best of their ability.
Muskoka Farms are regarded as one of the best thoroughbred education and pre-training facilities in the country and have been so for many years.
