GLOBAL VISION

“We aim to bring new levels of transparency, professionalism, and innovation to the industry, while also fostering greater international cooperation and collaboration.”

Yulong was founded in 2011 by Mr Yuesheng Zhang and in recent years his vision for the organisation has begun to take shape. Aiming for a truly global reach from its base in Australia, Yulong has established itself with world-class facilities in Nagambie, Victoria.

Just as importantly, Yulong’s operations worldwide provide the basis for success. In particular, the acquisition of 40 now two-year-old horses in Europe has marked a significant step towards fulfilling the global ambitions.

As any breeder knows, victories on the racetrack lead to success in the breeding barn, and Yulong has taken the approach of providing the very best support for its growing stallion roster in Victoria.

Purchasing some of the best race fillies and mares in Australasia in recent years, they support a now sevenstrong roster which is given every chance of success. We look forward to many regally bred youngsters making their way through the sales ring and onto the racetracks in the coming years.

However, Yulong's ambitions extend beyond merely producing top-performing horses. The stud is committed to making a positive impact on the global racing industry as a whole. We aim to bring new levels of transparency, professionalism, and innovation to the industry, while also fostering greater international cooperation and collaboration.

The purchase of top-quality youngsters in Europe is a major step towards achieving this vision, and is significant because it will eventually expand some of the finest European bloodlines into Australia, which will enhance the quality of horses bred at Yulong Stud. It also represents a major investment in the global racing industry, demonstrating Yulong's commitment to fostering greater international cooperation between breeders and trainers.

That vision paid dividends when Magical Lagoon became Yulong’s first Royal Ascot winner in the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes, on her way to cementing a first Classic success for the operation when taking the Group 1 Irish Oaks. The 2022 season was also marked by homebred My Whisper winning two Group races in Australia - a testament to Yulong’s breeding programme.

Yulong Stud's global vision is driven by a deep passion for the sport and a commitment to innovation and excellence. By investing in top-quality horses and building strong partnerships around the world, Yulong is laying the foundation for a bright and sustainable future for the industry.
