Breeze up sales: what we can offer

When ever possible we prefer to watch the horses breeze live, as this gives us an insight into behaviour characteristics that might not show up on the tattersalls video breeze(see link below). 

When our work schedule prevents us from attending live ,we can still offer our opinion based on what we see on the video, this opinion will be based on years of experience watching over 1 million horses on the newmarket gallops. 

This is based on multiple in depth data reports including potential : 

Ability - Precocity - Runs Per Season - Late Developers - Potential Resale Value Etc

After all, if your looking for a Royal Ascot 2y/old you would be wise to reconsider buying a 2y/old who had multiple siblings who were all backward late devolping  3y/old types - without doing due dligence on the rest of the pedigree

Our access to phenominal back data allows us test stallion performance including: 

Track - Going - Distance - Class - Time Of Year -  Age When Winning - Runs Before Win Etc

All of the above can help you decide if you are indeed statistically looking at the right Stallion for your current bloodstock requirements.

First Foals:

This is an area where you really do need to do your homework, as there are NO siblings to guage wether or not a good racehorse is going to become a good dam. Our data access allows us to even check results based on Stallion matched with Dams Stallion results, along with some other inside sercet formulas we use to give you a potential edge when you are considering entering the precarious situation of buying or not buying first foals.

The very nature of the breeze up's means that you need to rev the horses to do as fast a time as possible over 2 furlongs, so as to catch the eye of the clock watchers and buyers. This can lead on the odd occassion to some of the following problems and we would not be where we are today if we did not tell our clients the whole story.

Injury: asking a horse to go fast when it's not 100% ready can lead to potential injuries that at the time of the breeze when we were assessing ,did not exist. These can range from simple knocks to career threating injuries and you must take professional vetinary advice after the breeze up, on sale day to ensure you do not buy into a problem that could take time and expense to correct or even possibly render your purchase un-raceable.

Temperament: A good bloodstock agent should be able to give you some kind of behaviour analysis as to wether or not the horse has potentialy been brain fried. This is a potential problem with breeze up horses, as some have been asked to do something they are  physically or mentally not ready for and this can result in serious behaviour problems, making them extremely difficult to train.

Our Opinion:

We can only offer you our opinion based on what we viewed on the breeze and wether the horse has the potential pedigree to do the job you require. It is up to you take best professional advice from all parties and to be 100% confidence that you are making the right choice when purchasing a racehorse as they are ultimately fragile creatures that do not always stay sound of mind and body.

If you do due diligence at all times you can sleep easy knowing that, you gave it your best shot win or lose and that's all we can ever do.
