Buying at Auction for Syndicates
or Private Bloodstock
With over 5,000 yearlings sold at auction per year as well as thousands of weanlings, broodmares and tried racehorses also setting foot in the various auction rings of Inglis, Magic Millions and New Zealand Bloodstock, it’s obviously the most popular way to buy and sell. When the experts throw their hands up to bid for their chosen thoroughbred however, it’s not a spur of the moment decision.
It all starts with the research and analysis of the pedigree pages of each horse catalogued in the sale where fast relatives and proven ‘nicks and crosses’ are analysed.
The pedigree work is closely followed by the physical inspections of the short-listed horses at the stud farm and/or sales grounds to assess their conformation and gait in advance of the sales.
Once the short-list is whittled down, the vets are called to assess any potential issues that could prevent them from reaching the best of their abilities.
The combination of Triple Crown’s experience, the above mentioned ‘leg work’ and elimination process plus their network of contacts from the various stud farms, agistment farms, vet clinics and sale yards, gives Triple Crown and their clients the advantage come sales time.
Private Sale Representation
Private purchase is the alternative way to buy bloodstock in Australia. Private sales are more frequent with tried racehorses, stallions, broodmares and foals. Through Triple Crown’s extensive contacts within the Thoroughbred industry worldwide, sourcing the right horse for you at the best price is very achievable.
