Did you know? Daandine are the breeder of Golden Slipper-winning stallion Capitalist AND his Champion Sire Written Tycoon.
Situated near Warwick in Queensland, the farm (Daandine) was established as a commercial entity in the 1920s by Jan Clark’s great-grandfather to operate alongside a highly successful cattle business.
Clark herself has continued a proud family tradition in both of those circles, saying to TTR AusNZ in 2020, “Breeding racehorses is a genetic trait – there was never any chance of me doing anything else,” she said. “But it’s something I enjoy, it’s turned into a great passion of mine, and I love nothing more than seeing people have success with the horses they’ve bought from us."
