Our horses are prepared for racing with a varied routine which includes walking, trotting, cantering and galloping, interspersed with swimming. Variation is important for the horse's psychological well being, and our work revolves around keeping our horses fit and relaxed. 
A happy horse is a performing horse!

Swimming is a valuable aid to the trainer. It helps keep a horse fit without putting any pressure on its front legs and at the same time enhances its sense of vitality and well-being.

The treadmill is another useful aid for getting horses into peak condition. Michael Clements knows exactly how to strike the balance between getting a racehorse super fit, without elevating it's stress levels. A treadmill can help a horse maintain fitness without it having to carry any weight. The treadmill shifts the horse's body weight onto it's hindquarters and therefore reduces the impact on it's delicate front legs.

Horse walkers allow the horse to walk and trot freely without being ridden or restrained by a rider

KRANJI RACECOURSE
Singapore Turf Club
Horse racing Under the Stars

World-Class Kranji racecourse was built by the Singapore Turf Club at a reported sum of S$550 million. The state-of-the-art facilities represent the latest in equine care and are a big benefit to thoroughbred owners. Owners and trainers from all over the world have praised the turf track, one of the few in the world that can take heavy rainfall.

There are two turf tracks (Long Course,  Short Course) and a fibre sand track which are used for racing. The fibre sand track is also used for track work along with other sand tracks for gallops and slow work. The Club also opened a 'Heath' sand track that runs for 1000m along the back of the main track and is ideal for varying a horse's routine.

Having invested in a Thoroughbred race horse, it's important to know that your valuable racehorse is going to receive the very best care. The Kranji racing and training centre, and particularly Michael Clements Racing Stables, will take good care of your future winners.
