The 'Elite' business model enables us to confidently select quality yearlings at all the major sales in Australia.
As your thoroughbreds manager we ensure that your investment is properly taken care of. From the time of purchase to the race track, we only use recognized professionals, some of which are regarded by many as the “best in the business”.
Owners are constantly kept up to date on your horse’s movements and activities through phone, e-mail and video footage. We encourage owners to be involved as much as possible. Whether you own 5% or 100%, all owners are entitled to owner privileges which include open days, race day tickets, race trials, track work visits and promotional gear.
Elite Thoroughbreds management services insure that you are informed about your horses every move.
- When your horse is spelling a report is relayed to owners every week. Photos or video footage will be forwarded along with weight reports and comments.
- When your horse is in pre-training a report is relayed to owners every week. Photos or video footage may be provided. A report from the pre-trainer will be available and owners will be kept up to date as to when your horse will be ready to go into full work with the trainer.
- When your horse is in full work owners will receive weekly updates. Possible race nominations, track work reports and trial information will be provided. Track work footage will be recorded every so often and forwarded to the owners. Live trainer comments will also be made available. When racing multiple emails are sent throughout the week providing all the nessesary details.
- Race reports will be provided which will feature comments from the trainer and jockey. It will provide general information about the race (i.e. sectionals, weights, etc).
When selecting a yearling we have a process which we adhere to. We believe that this process enables us select and purchase quality rather than quantity. It is broken down into 5 steps.
1. Our team studies the sales catalogue and selects a list of yearlings based on pedigree and where the yearling was bred. Other factors such as residual value are also considered.
2. Our list is then submitted to our acting bloodstock agent who assesses the yearlings basing his findings purely on the conformation of the horse. The yearlings that do not pass are eliminated from the list.
3. The revised list is then passed on to the trainer who will assesses both pedigree and conformation. Yearlings are only considered if the trainer approves. No one person in the industry spends more time with a racehorse during its racing career than the trainer himself. The trainer then submits the list of yearlings that he approves.
4. This list is then passed on to the vet who will the return with his findings and a report (i.e. low risk, etc). If a yearling does not pass the vet inspection it is then eliminated from the list of possible purchases.
5. The trainer will re-evaluate the final list of yearlings. We then attempt to purchase the selected yearlings if they fall within our price range. Price range is determined by the findings of the trainer, bloodstock agent and other factors such as the sire’s service fee at the time.
