About us

I am a bloodstock agent, sales consultant, and pedigree analyst with over three decades of experience in the thoroughbred racing industry. As a second-generation horseman, I have been blessed to serve in a variety of capacities in this exciting industry, from working on racetracks and farms, to managing stallions and participating in sales consignments. This broad range of experiences has given me a unique perspective on the thoroughbred racing world, and a wealth of knowledge that I bring to each of my clients.

My expertise in pedigree analysis and physical evaluation is unmatched. I am dedicated to helping my clients purchase or breed superior thoroughbred racehorses through a combination of sound pedigree principles, horsemanship, and consistent implementation of well-designed plans. With a proven track record of success, I have assisted clients in purchasing or breeding ten graded stakes winners (including three Grade 1 winners that include a Kentucky Derby winner and champion), countless stakes winners, graded stakes-placed runners, and consistent allowance horses. Whether you are new to the thoroughbred racing world or simply looking for a new approach, I am confident that I can help you achieve your racing goals.
