He branched out in his own right when granted a licence to train in Singapore. There he won 468 races at a strike rate of 15%, with his best galloper during that period was the two-time Singapore Horse of the Year – Super Easy.
After a brief stint in Hong Kong, Freedman returned to Australia, where his stable included Golden Slipper runner-up Frolic. In 2019, Michael teamed up with his brother Richard under the banner of Freedman Brothers. During that time, based at Randwick, Michael oversaw the training of Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside, three-time Group 1 winner Forbidden Love and Group/feature race winners, Tiger Of Malay, Glistening, Queen Of The Ball & Prime Star.
