Schofield will be a guest at Kooringal Stud's annual open day where the outstanding performer Prized Icon will be among the stallions on show.
The pair proved a formidable combination on the track, landing Group 1 wins in two of the most coveted events on the racing calendar.
Schofield partnered Prized Icon to victory in the $500,000 Champagne Stakes at Randwick on April 2016 and then took out the $1.5 million VRC Derby at Flemington later that year.
Prized Icon finished with $2.1 million in earnings, while the Sydney-based Schofield is still building on his tally of 18 Group 1 wins and $62 million in prizemoney.
"Glyn is respected the world over and it's an honour to have him as a guest at the open day," Kooringal Stud's Stuart Lamont said.
"I know he held Prized Icon in the highest regard and is looking forward to catching up with him again."
Kooringal Stud will also host Andrew Baddock on Sunday.
Baddock is the manager of Gooree Stud, which bred, reared and raced Prized Icon for the Cojuangco family.
Prized Icon will launch his stud career in 2019 at a fee of $11,000 (inc GST).
The son of More Than Ready will stand alongside the prolific winner producer Duporth ($8800 service fee) and the superbly bred The Brothers War ($6600).
Each of the stallions will be paraded on Sunday at the Harefield property.
The event will start at 11.30am and is open to all racing enthusiasts, with RSVPs essential by emailing office@kooringalstud.com.au
