Private Purchase Services and Public Auction Representation with Brad McCarthy Bloodstock

We offer comprehensive bloodstock selection services for private purchases both at auction and off-market, ensuring our clients receive the highest quality and value. Here's how our process works:

Expert Selection Services: Our team attends all major bloodstock sales, meticulously refining each catalogue to identify horses with the best potential for high-performance outcomes. We provide full-service selection, guiding you through every step of the process.

Rigorous Pre-Sale Inspection: Months before the sale day, our rigorous inspection process begins. We visit farms to inspect young foals before any handling has begun, allowing us to assess their early development. As the sale approaches, we inspect yearlings on farms during their final preparation phase. Each stud presents an on-farm parade of their sale stock, providing us with detailed insights.

In-Depth Analysis: Our on-farm presence allows us to analyse local nuances, such as terrain and environmental conditions, which impact the development of the horses. Understanding these factors helps us create the most accurate profile for each horse.

Thorough Evaluation: Our thorough evaluation process considers physical conformation, pedigree, soundness (risk ratings), commercial potential, mannerisms, and temperament. This detailed analysis forms the basis for further inspection when the yearlings arrive at the sale complex, ensuring we select bloodstock assets that are best suited to each client mandate.

Machine Learning and Data Analytics: We engage leading data providers to supply us the most accurate and up to date data analytics services, these tools are combined with our overall asset selection process, to maximise positive client outcomes. We have a specific focus on proven machine learning tools in the areas of Locomotion and Bio-Mechanics in databases of sufficient scale, showing a genuine correlation.

Pedigree Data Analytics: In addition to qualitative pedigree analysis, we also apply leading quantitative techniques to all asset purchases- via a deep data driven pedigree analysis tool which harnesses a powerful commercial database with significant historical correlations.
