Tulloch Lodge 2025 Yearling Partnerships
Sun, Dec 15, 2024
The success of our yearling partnerships over the past two years has allowed us to launch FOUR partnerships ahead of the 2025 yearling sales series.
Each of these partnerships will pre-raise capital amongst our existing owners to take advantage of a niche opportunity in the market.
The benefits of these partnerships include:
- Laser focus at sale time on yearlings that fit the brief
- Increased chance of success through yearlings being purchased for each partnership
- Enjoy the process of identifying and securing these yearlings before and during each sale
- Well formulated & communicated plans for the horses in each partnership, in line with opportunity identified
Our 2025 Partnerships can be viewed below.
|
1. VALERIE PARTNERSHIP |
|
This partnership was developed to take advantage of the extraordinary rise in value of race fillies off the track with Metropolitan+ class precocity and speed, coupled with commercial conformation and pedigree. This partnership is striking at 62.5% Sydney Metro winners to runners and 20% stakes horses to runners from 8 fillies to race to date. The success on the racetrack has already bore fruit in the broodmare sales highlighted by $3.5m Platinum Jubilee and $900,000 Sicilian. Limited availability!

2. TJ COLTS PARTNERSHIP |
|
A partnership focused on fast, running colts at below the average price of the sale. We have had a great deal of success making stallions and good trades with colts in this price window, and we are set to concentrate further on these colts in 2025.

3. FARNAN PARTNERSHIP |
|
Farnan was a special racehorse. We know better than anyone else how talented he was. As a Golden Slipper winning son of Not A Single Doubt, we view Farnan as a high percentage play to make a great stallion and we love what we are seeing from first 2YOs which already include $1m Golden Gift winner North England. We want to make sure we get in early, secure the best athletes from his second crop before the rest of the market catches on, and give them the chance to let our "Farnan" partners enjoy a red hot racing season of 2025/26.

4. DESCARADO PARTNERSHIP |
|
2025 marks our return to Karaka for a second consecutive year, after a most enjoyable trip last year. New Zealand breds have added significant value to our owners and our stable from TJ through to today. This partnership will have a narrow focus on future Classic (Guineas, Derby) winners for our stable, purchased at great value, as we have found in the past.
|
Given the scale of our buying, we will of course continue to buy and offer yearlings individually, but if you like the idea of the partnerships and would like to find out more, please contact our friendly Sales team:
- Claudia Miller - claudia@gaiwaterhouse.com.au or 0422545990
- Emma Coleman - ecoleman@gaiwaterhouse.com.au or 0474161041
- Bruce Slade - bruce@kestrelthoroughbreds.com.au or 0400505238
We take winning seriously. We plan for it, and our partnerships are the start of our 2YO assault on the 2025/26 racing season. We welcome your involvement.
Happy Racing,
Gai & Adrian
