Eclipse Award Champion
Breeders Cup Champion
Dubai Majesty
We bought her because I thought she should be sprinting on the dirt, not routing on the Turf. This proved to be correct as she won the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare sprint.

How we identify the right horse

Clear Vision
The ability to identify an opportunity and have a clear vision on what a horse can develop into (You must have vision!)
Responsive
Once the opportunity is identified you must act quickly or you will lose the opportunity. We don't need to or get 2nd and 3rd opinions from so called industry experts. We are very confident in our abilities and know when to strike.
A Plan
We treat each horse as if we are buying a business. We have a complete business model in place before any horse is purchased. We know exactly what the plan is and how to accomplish it. We don't just buy horses to own a horse.
