Australia’s largest purpose-built thoroughbred racing precinct, including a luxury five-star hotel and event centre, has opened its doors at Warwick Farm in Sydney’s south-west.

Riverside Stables includes 823 stables, a 144-room William Inglis Sofitel Hotel with suites named after champion race horses, restaurants, cafés and a unique ringside bar where people can dine and inspect the thoroughbreds.

The 10-hectare precinct will open its first horse sales in less than a week.
