From a modest four-figure Sioux Nation covering fee to a six-figure sale-ring result at Tattersalls Book 2 — a striking return on investment.

We transformed a four-figure investment into a six-figure return. After her purchase, two of her half-sisters became dual black-type performers, significantly enhancing the value of her pedigree — further boosted by her being in foal to Ghaiyyath at the time.

Acquired for 35,000gns and later sold privately for a six-figure sum with our partnership — since then her progeny have thrived on the track, most notably Sunfall, a four-time winner (including the Listed October Stakes at Ascot)

Purchased as a foal for €24,000, he went on to win 4 races and placed 3 times, earning £41,488 in prize money with a highest rating of 97. Then sold for 80,000gns at the Tattersalls October HIT Sale for his connections.

The recent hard work of John and Imogen — meticulously analysing foal sale catalogues, researching pedigrees, and spending days inspecting foals — has paid off, with over 70% of their purchases going on to win as two-year-olds.
