About Byerley Park

A thoroughbred training and breeding property at 3 McKenzie Road in Kingseat, Franklin, in South Auckland. It is named after the Byerley Turk, one of the three foundation stallions of the modern thoroughbred. The property trains racehorses, breeds bloodstock on its farm, and is home to the NZ Equine Academy, which trains students and apprentice jockeys. It was established by Daniel Nakhle and his father Elias. It is about 12 minutes from the southern motorway off-ramp, and close to the Haunui Farm and Westbury Stud studs.

Visitors to the open day held for National Thoroughbred Week found it well organised, with a great deal to see. One says it was an amazing experience.
