Our approach is deliberately selective, with the results below achieved from fewer than 20 purchases per year, across yearlings, weanlings, mares, and horses in training.

We have no stables to fill and no pre-raised funds to spend. Our sole aim is for every purchase to develop into a quality racehorse.

In our experience, around 90% of horses offered at auction lack the attributes to meet our buying standards. Of the remaining 10%, many are prohibitively expensive. So while thousands of horses are offered each year, our genuine window of opportunity is actually quite small.

Our very selective approach is a key point of difference in an industry that often plays the numbers game.
