Our horse has gone from a non-winner to taking out his first race within three starts with Michael Costa Racing. This guy will be the next big thing in racing and I encourage everyone to jump on board now.

The Michael Costa Racing team have helped syndicate a range of our passed in horses from the sales giving our breeders another option for selling. Every horse we have sent to Michael returns to the stud for spelling in immaculate condition. Michael has a very high attention to detail and explains each horses idiosyncrasies to the finest detail.
