The home of many Melbourne Cup wins Macedon Lodge is set to be closed down.
Owner Lloyd Williams has announced he will close his Macedon Lodge property due to his age and inability to get to the training complex.
“Macedon (Lodge) will close for me next month,” Williams informedย racing.com.
“Over the last 18 months I have found it impossible to supervise Macedon Lodge. Over the previous decades I lived there and supervised everything. But (its) more difficult in your 80th – age slows you down.
“Racing continues for us (with) many many horses in Ireland. We will be back with Frankie Dettori to try to win the (Melbourne) Cup in 2020.”
Williams will continue to race horses with Joseph O’Brien in Ireland with his horses to travel in an attempt to continue to target the Melbourne Cup in the future.
