Manhattan Rain (AUS)
Geisel Park Stud
2024 FEE: $8,250
Geisel Park Stud is located at the historic Myalup Farm established in 1846. In 2007 Eddie and Kylie Rigg acquired Myalup Farm for the purpose of establishing one of Western Australia’s leading thoroughbred studs. The rich chocolate soils surrounding the Mylaup swamp and the abundant fresh water make Myalup Farm ‘a little bit of New Zealand’ on the coastal plains of the Southwest. The farm has now expanded to 250 acres. All facilities at Geisel Park Stud, Myalup Farm, have been purpose built to ensure the safety of the horses and maximise efficiencies.
