Building For The Future
The management and nurturing of thoroughbred racing and breeding portfolios is a major part of what we do at JHB. We help and advise at every stage of the process from mating plans, sales placements, racing management and overall portfolio strategy.
We are in regular contact with service providers, aiding our clients with the daily decisions which go hand in hand with the maintenance of a bloodstock portfolio..
Mating Recommendations
With a sharp insight into the marketplace and a thorough knowledge of the stock on the ground, we are ideally placed to help you when it comes to recommending the best stallions for the mares in your portfolio. With powerful analysis tools we are able to find the paths which best suit your breeding stock. In addition, we have strong relationships with the leading stud farms, and are ideally placed to negotiate on your behalf to obtain the best terms and pricing for your nominations.

Sales Placements
The correct placement of your horses within the right bloodstock sales can have a massive effect on the prices achieved. From keeping track of buying trends, understanding the ‘fashion’ of stallions and the physical make up of your horses, we take sales placements very seriously for our portfolio clients. In addition to yearling placements, we take a role in maintaining the best commercial outcomes for our clients in terms of broodmare sales, aiming always to keep portfolios productive and producing income key commercial phases.

Stock Management
There are often daily decisions to be made with regard to a breeding and racing stock portfolio, and we act as an effective first port of call for service providers, taking care of the little things and enabling you to enjoy your bloodstock endeavours, while of course keeping you updated and abreast of everything that is going on at all times.
