Proud History Delivers Magic Modern Day Success

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 5

The Kelly family purchased Newhaven Park at Boorowa in the 1920’s and in the 100 years since then four generations of Kelly’s have established an enviable tradition for producing elite thoroughbreds with current results rivalling the glory days that produced Golden Slipper winners such as John’s Hope, Vivarchi, Burst and Prowl.

The Newhaven Park brand is one that has successfully bridged the past with the future to deliver a stream of outstanding racehorses highlighted by current star graduate In The Congo, who downed Anamoe to win the Group I ATC Golden Rose during the spring.
