Purchasing advice

Our data-driven shortlists of catalogued lots streamline the process, allowing you to efficiently select the most promising horses for breeding, pinhooking and racing.

Problem

AGONY OF CHOICE

Hundreds, and occasionally more than a thousand, young horses are showcased within just a few days at foal and yearling sales. Buyers and their advisors are confronted with the daunting challenge of identifying the horses that align perfectly with their objectives.

Typically, the selection process begins with a detailed analysis of the catalogue, followed by a physical inspection of a much narrower pre-selected group of lots. The primary challenge involves meticulously navigating through the sales catalogue, a task that is both time-consuming and intricate. The complexity stems from the need to accurately evaluate all the information provided on the catalogue pages for each horse.

It’s no surprise that even the most experienced bloodstock consultants struggle to manually prioritise the horses effectively.

Leveraging insights from previous years, we understand how factors, such as pedigree, gender and the race results of relatives, correlate with their expected performance in the sales ring or on the racetrack.

Modern

Using state-of-the-art statistical techniques, we objectively rank horses based on the expected return on investment for pinhooking or the likelihood of a horse winning a Group race.

“Their data-driven information has been invaluable, saving time when evaluating lots at the foal sale and selecting the most promising foals for pinhooking. It was very helpful in transforming a €36,000 Mehmas foal into a 55,000 guineas yearling.”
