Bloodstock agents play a relatively small role in SA purchasing compared to UK, with the trainers choosing the majority of horses purchased at sales here.

......closed shop....but it is good to have an outside or 2nd opinion....too many of our so called agents are acting for buyer and seller....creating an overinflated market and a good commission.....if a well put together horse is not on their list.....someone is bound to get a bargain..... ;)

Not if you run overseas if we fix the quarantine (yawn yawn) SA horses are reasonably priced
If you also look at the comparison of winning a maiden plate it covers so many months training and look at same in UK and still better in SA
