Expertise

Questions about Thoroughbred training, racing and breeding. Rules and regulations regarding Thoroughbred racing. Mainly focused on racing in the USA. I can also answer breeding and bloodstock questions, along with pedigree advice, plus advice about forming a realistic plan for starting into the racing or breeding business. No handicapping questions, please.

Experience in the area

I have been a licensed Thoroughbred trainer for 20 years, a thoroughbred farm owner and Thoroughbred breeder. Owner of Alchemy Bloodstock, a full service bloodstock agency, specializing in locating quality racing and breeding stock for clients, and representing clients at various Thoroughbred sales. Alchemy Bloodstock has been instrumental in the purchase and training of several graded stakes horses, as well as many extremely profitable sales horses.
