Turning Your Dream into Reality: Breeding a Champion Racehorse

​

Do you dream of breeding a champion racehorse? If you're nodding your head, you're not alone. Many horse enthusiasts share this dream, but for most, it remains just that - a dream.

​

The Harsh Reality

The odds are undeniably stacked against us. Did you know that approximately only 1 in every 5,000 thoroughbred matings results in a true champion? Thoroughbred breeding is one of the most high-risk and costly sports. Even more disheartening is the fact that nearly two-thirds of all racehorses never win a single race, let alone a prestigious Group One race or become a Champion.

​

The Emotional Rollercoaster

Horse racing is all about winning. Winning is everything. The thrill of sharing a victory with friends and loved ones can be a lifetime highlight. But we’re all too familiar with the flip side - the disappointment when our breeding efforts don’t yield the desired results. Watching your horse get beaten in a race can be heart-wrenching, especially when you’ve invested so much time, effort, and money.

​

The Path to Success

But what if I told you there’s a way to turn this dream into reality? With our course, you'll discover that breeding not just a winner, but a Group One winner, and even a Champion Racehorse, is indeed possible.

​

​

The methods and strategies presented here have the highest success rates for breeding or obtaining a Group One winner. Consider these points:

​

 Stallion Focus

​

  • High Stakes: Half of all stallions currently standing in Australasia will never produce a Group One winner.

  • Top Performers: Among those that do, the best strike rates are approximately 1 Group One winner for every 40 matings.

  • Elite Few: Fewer than 20 stallions achieve a Group One winner in less than 100 matings.

Buying from Yearling Sales

  • Tough Odds: Even when buying from yearling sales, the average remains around 1 Group One winner per 50 yearlings sold.​​

​​

Breeding a Champion Racehorse is an achievable dream. With the right mare and a well-matched stallion, the possibilities become much more promising when applying line breeding techniques.

​

ABOUT ME.png

Richard Wood  Chouxmaani Investments

​

"My individual efforts of breeding a champion thoroughbred began when I was in my late 20s, now in my early 70s and became a pitiful waste of money and energy coupled with a frustrating time of not knowing where I was going wrong.

 

My pockets have never been lined with cash and I had to make every mating the best I could construct, I wanted a Group 1 winner.

 

I was lucky enough to stumble across a pedigree researcher and his computer program many years ago that coloured the female families of the thoroughbred.

​

This computer program made a massive and significant difference to the understanding of pedigree influencers in thoroughbred breeding. My learning curve took a steep upward spiral.

 

In total I have bred and owned horses that have won 8 Group One races, along with 2nds in The Melbourne Cup, Caulfied Cup and a W S Cox Plate.

 

My individual results are a testament to my dedication and a burning desire to breed, own and race a Group One horse."
