The Lofty Group

The Lofty Group The Lofty Group stable complex offers premium accommodation for thoroughbreds and is conveniently situated opposite the Cranbourne training track.

The group are expanding the available accomodation and building stables to specification. After 40 + years in property development and the construction industry Paul Lofitis decided to pursue his other lifelong passion and so he purchased a few thoroughbreds. He was not interested in joining a large stable and so was fortunate to come across Julius Sandhu, a small boutique trainer in Cranbourne. P

aul was taken with Julius’s genuine love and affection for his horses and his endless hours of hands-on dedication. He knew that his horses would be in safe hands with Julius. In 2019, with his background in property development, a growing love for his horses and a vision, Paul purchased the old Mick Kent training facility, located directly opposite the Cranbourne training track. Since then, LTG has improved the amenities and completely overhauled the facility, upgrading all the horse boxes and day yards as well as the landscaping. LTG now owns over 30 horses including 3 brood mares, and a number of weanlings. The property is constantly growing with 3 trainers already occupying the site. With increasing demand, LTG is now expanding further with an additional 32 boxes, including day yards, a horse walker, wash bays, tie- ups, a treadmill, security systems, and anything that is required by the onsite trainers. The group's mission is to build a state of the art facility with all that is required to ensure and maintain the health and wellbeing of all the horses, while in turn providing trainers and owners with the convenience of direct access to all onsite and offsite facilities.

At Lofty Group, our commitment to our horses extends far beyond their racing careers. We take great pride in ensuring that every athlete is transitioned into a fulfilling life after their time on the track.

Dedicated Re-homing for many of our retired racers, like Lofty Star and Lofty Heights, we facilitate a dedicated re-homing process. These horses are carefully matched with new owners to ensure they enjoy a rewarding second career or a peaceful retirement.

Continuing the Legacy our fillies and mares often continue their journey within the Lofty family. Most of them transition to our breeding program, going to stud to be paired with our premier stallions, Lofty Strike and Lofty Arch.

This ensures their exceptional bloodlines continue to thrive in the next generation of champions.
We are honored to provide a supportive and professional pathway for our horses at every stage of their lives.

Preparations for the next campaign are underway. We’re excited for our runners to start hitting the track very soon.

LOFTY STRIKE

Over his first two seasons, he has been the second busiest first and second season sire in Victoria, with well over 90% in-foal fertility across both years. A mark of consistency that breeders back.

With an outstanding crop of first foals already on the ground, the next milestone is close. Lofty Strike’s first weanlings will be headed for the 2026 major Australian weanling sales.
