Introduction to Pinhook Bloodstock International - Dave Mee
Pinhook Bloodstock International's new and improved website at www.pinhook.com.au includes an introductory video by Dave Mee outlining the Australian Bloodstock Agency's background and services offered.
Pinhook Bloodstock International (PBI) is an Australian based full service Bloodstock Agency. We source high quality racing, breeding and trading stock for international and local markets.
BACKGROUND: Established in late 2005 by Dave Mee the company started out by providing private brokerage services sourcing racehorses for the domestic market. A natural evolution of the business saw more demand for racehorses from Asia. This has resulted in great success with over 950 horses valued at over $30 million being bought and sold, with hundreds of winners in eight different countries. In recent years, the company has come full circle and due to increased demand for world class Australian Bloodstock from both domestic and international buyers, for not only racehorses but also weanlings, yearlings, broodmares and stallions the decision was made to re-brand the business as Pinhook Bloodstock International (PBI).
Three main services offered include: PRIVATE BROKERAGE: With a strong background in international sales, PBI has a track record second to none within the private market in sourcing horses capable of winning at the highest level anywhere in Australasia, as well as knowing what it takes to buy and sell Bloodstock capable of exceeding in the auction ring.
AUCTION REPRESENTATION: PBI’s goal is to source the winners of Australasia’s premier races. With this aim in mind, purchasing quality horses from public auction, primarily at yearling sales, is where winning often begins. PBI stand by our guarantee, if you have a race of significance you wish to win, PBI will leave no stone unturned to make it happen. Of yearlings / 2 year old’s purchased by PBI in 2015 – 90% individual winners to runners strike rate. Off an average purchace price of $48k. In 2016 PBI identified some quality mares with offspring showing excellent potential including the dams of Hair Trigger (at time of purchase he had raced once at Kembla) and Theanswermyfriend (had raced once). Hair Trigger went on to be stakes placed; and recently sold to HK; Theanswermyfriend won a Sat race at Caufield and looks a very nice miler/stayer in the making.
PINHOOKING / BLOODSTOCK INVESTMENT: PBI’s success, in part, is due to our ability to read the play in the commercial market place. As in any market place there are different investment vehicles available to invest in. Taking into account your goals, resources and budget, PBI help identify which strategy(s) are the best for you to implement and the most opportune time to do so.
