The 2017 year has commenced with the next phase of Goldin Farms’ ongoing development well underway.

Goldin Farms has implemented significant changes to our Angaston management structure and made two very notable additions to our senior personnel due, in part, to the fact that over 40 Akeed Mofeed (GB) home-breds are about to embark on their racing career and join prominent racing stables in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.

Of the team members already well established in the Goldin Farms set-up, Andrew Perryman has recently assumed the newly created position of General Manager and Brett Campbell is now operating in the capacity of Bloodstock & Racing Manager. Joining Andrew and Brett at the helm of the operation’s management structure is Gerry St John, who was recently recruited from overseas to become the new Stud Manager.

Goldin Farms is absolutely delighted to have secured Gerry for this key position, as he brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience gained at some of the most revered thoroughbred nurseries in the world. His 20-year career has seen him undertake a variety of positions in Germany (Gestut Romerhof), North America (Lanes End Farm) and Ireland, though it is his distinguished service for Coolmore Stud — in Ireland and Australia — for which he is undoubtedly best known.

Gerry’s association with Coolmore traces back two decades and includes first-hand involvement with the stellar stud careers of such equine luminaries as Sadler’s Wells, Danehill and the world’s leading stallion, Galileo. It was Gerry who acted as the exclusive stallion man for Danehill throughout his incomparable stud career, and who personally managed the intensive care unit for Galileo for three months following his extensive colic surgery.

Gerry’s impressive CV also includes the management of quarantine, logistics and transportation of Coolmore stallions to all corners of the thoroughbred world (including Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Japan) when acting as point of contact for the international operation and the equine shipping companies involved.
