In SA the favoured Sport Of Kings is largely supplied by stock from the Midlands’ many stud farms, the most notable of them being the famous Summerhill, producer of champions since the 1930’s and probably the only stud to have produced a winner of every major feature race on the SA calendar. Of course for breeding champions conditions must be ideal and both the climate and facilities of the Midlands seem to fit the bill. With verdant pasturing even in the thick of winter, this stud farm makes an interesting photographic composition - the immaculately maintained post and rail fencing of the paddocks contrasting darkly against the almost fluorescent green of the grass in the warmth of the mid-afternoon June sun.
Oh, that .... and the horses.
