MANY people ask me, particularly those on the periphery of the bloodstock world, what do we do when there are no sales taking place? Well inspections begin for the breeze-up sales the first week in January, and continue with the Derby Sale inspections from February right through to the end of March; yearlings inspections commence at the end of April until the end of June.

There are advertising and promotional plans to finalise and planning for each sale for the year ahead. Reviews of each sale from every aspect - from bedding, to hay, to vetting and logistics – are part of the regular process and we take considerations and recommendations seriously from vendors and purchasers alike.
