About Intel Bloodstock

Intel Bloodstock: Passion, Expertise, Results

At Intel Bloodstock, we’re driven by passion and results. Founded by Ash Richards, whose love for the thoroughbred industry runs deep, we’ve quickly become a trusted name in the thoroughbred market. In just three years, we’ve successfully acquired over 70 thoroughbreds across various sales platforms, with total purchases exceeding $6 million. This achievement reflects the trust and confidence our diverse clientele have placed in the Intel Bloodstock brand.

Whether it’s sourcing horses at auctions, online platforms, or private sales, we leverage our expertise to ensure every horse aligns perfectly with your unique goals.

Our dedication doesn’t end with acquisition. We collaborate closely with trainers and owners, managing portfolios to maximize returns. With over two decades of combined experience, we bring a wealth of knowledge and skill to every aspect of thoroughbred management.

Proven Results and Exceptional Highlights

Since launching in 2022, our results have consistently exceeded expectations, achieving remarkable success both on race days and in the sales ring. In just three years, we’ve celebrated seven debut winners and numerous standout achievements. Notable horses include:

Atlantic Spirit

$150K

Big Swinger

$180K

King’s Coronation

$80K

Title Fighter

$20K

The Reluctant Star

$60K

One standout success is The Reluctant Star, who was unbeaten in his first two starts before Intel Bloodstock brokered his sale to Hong Kong for nearly ten times his original purchase price. With a strong foundation of achievements, our stock is poised for even greater success in the coming seasons.

Working in close collaboration with leading broodmare farms, Intel Bloodstock and Ponderosa Park achieved remarkable results from two acquisitions from the 2023 Inglis Broodmare Sale:

  • Spiced: Purchased for $9K in foal to Acrobat, with the resulting foal later sold for $170K at the 2024 Inglis Great Southern Sale.
  • Daisy Doom: Acquired for $50K in foal to Pierata, with her foal subsequently selling for $150K at the 2024 Inglis Great Southern Sale.

These results demonstrate Intel Bloodstock’s diverse skill set and ability to identify and maximise value across the breeding and sales spectrum.

Our Competitive Edge: A Rigorous Selection Process

One of Intel Bloodstock’s key differentiators is our meticulous groundwork before sale day. While there are many ways to select yearlings or weanlings, our process sets us apart. We combine a deep understanding of the musculoskeletal system, movement, and structure with a strategic, data-driven approach. This expertise enables us to compile shortlists of exceptional prospects, giving our clients a significant advantage.
