BLOODSTOCK SERVICES

Whilst the internet has introduced the layman to copious quantities of information and considerably reduced the executional role of the "agent" in all industries, a network of contacts and educated advice is not as easily attained. In the racing industry, advice devoid of vested interests is an even rarer commodity.

PROVEN THOROUGHBREDS SERVICES ABN 44 057 777 349 is the Bloodstock arm of our business and in essence is an independant racehorse brokerage and management consultancy. The only "interest" per se is a link with the Guy Walter stable. It's a brotherly link that provides access to plentiful stock and a wealth of racing contacts but there is no shared equity in either enterprise.

PROVEN THOROUGHBREDS SERVICES like any consultancy, survives on good will, performance and people skills. Integrity is a pre-requisite, suffice it to say ALL commissions are fully disclosed to both buyer and seller in ALL transactions.

I attend several race meetings a week and am in constant touch with racing participants. Despite the obvious virtues of television and internet coverage, horse racing is an outdoor game. More is learned out in the field than in front of a screen.
