Being French, Louis spends several weeks in Europe each year from June onwards, leveraging his deep connections within the European breeding and racing industry.

During this time, he dedicates himself to inspecting horses in private training yards across the continent, with a sharp focus on identifying not only talent but individuals with the physical attributes required to succeed under Australian racing conditions.

In truth, very few horses meet our strict selection criteria. The elite are often unavailable or priced beyond value, while many horses in training show signs of wear and tear. Our focus is on progressive types with consistent form and the right physique to adapt to Australia’s racing conditions.

This highly selective approach has delivered consistent results. With just one or two purchases each year, we have sourced elite performers such as dual Group 1 winner Harlem, emerging staying prospect Eliyass, million-dollar earner Ventura Storm, and dual stakes winner Pilote d’Essai, among others.
