A written reading of one horse's page: inbreeding, aptitude, likely distance and surface, and where the pedigree is weaker than it looks. 10-15 pages, 5 working days.
A shortlist of stallions for a given mare, ranked, with the reasoning for each and the cases against the obvious choices. Per mare, 10 working days.
Ahead of a sale: the lots worth your time, the lots priced on fashion rather than substance, and the ones nobody is talking about. Per catalogue, before the sale.
Ongoing counsel for an owner or breeding operation across a season, on call for the decisions that come up between the set pieces. Annual, by discussion.
One real pedigree, read early — what it showed, and what happened next. Full write-up coming shortly.
I have analysed thoroughbred pedigrees for over twenty years — champions, also-rans, broodmares and stallions alike. It always comes back to genetics: why will this horse succeed, or won't it.
I also breed racehorses. My first homebred races in 2027, so I back my own judgement with my own mares and stallions.
