What’s a bloodstock manager and why are they important?

Blog, Ownership Insights

With the hustle and bustle of thoroughbred sales, it is easy to get caught up in excitement and think every horse that enters the ring will be the next champion but a reality check can occur when you remember that in any given year there can be up to 4,000 yearlings on offer.
