The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) is pleased to announce an expert panel for its annual Forum, Trading Perspectives: From Stud to Sales Ring, taking place on Thursday 26 November at Tattersalls, Newmarket, during the December Foal Sale and kindly sponsored by Streets Bloodstock Accountants.

Now in its fourth year, this free-to-attend event will bring together industry experts involved in breeding, buying, preparing and trading thoroughbreds to explore the commercial considerations that influence decisions at every stage of the bloodstock market.

From purchasing foals to pinhook as yearlings or breeze-up prospects, through to sourcing horses in training, the discussion will examine what buyers are looking for, the factors that influence value and demand, and the opportunities and challenges facing those producing horses for the sales ring and racetrack.

Hosted by racing broadcaster Vanessa Ryle, the panel will include Tom Blain, Managing Director of Barton Stud and TBA Trustee; Sam Hoskins, breeder and syndicate manager; Adam Potts, bloodstock agent for BBA Ireland; Ellie Whitaker, breeze-up consignor, EMW Equine and Roderic Kavanagh of Kildaragh Stud and Glending Stables in Ireland.

Drawing on their experiences across different sectors of the market, the panellists will share their approaches to identifying potential, assessing commercial appeal, managing risk and ultimately making buying and selling decisions.

Timings:

- Attendees are asked to arrive from 4.00pm for a welcome reception and networking opportunity, where attendees can network with other TBA members and breeding enthusiasts.

- The panel will start at 4.45pm and will run for approximately an hour, followed by a Q&A session for everyone to get involved with.
