The criteria here is value for money coupled with success on
the racecourse.
Whether your preference is for a Yearling, Breeze Up 2yo, Horse
in training or Jumper; at public auction or by private treaty; Tony
will act on your behalf to give best advice, best practice and his
years of experience, to select the right animal for you.
All prospective purchases are very carefully considered, bearing
in mind conformation, althleticism, pedigree and if appropriate,
performance. All horses are vetted prior to purchase.
Tony's skills in selecting and purchasing the right horse for new
and existing owners have been amply demonstrated by the high percentage
of winners to horses he has purchased since inception, a success
rate that many of his competitors would envy.
An interesting statistic is that year on year, the percentage of
individual Flat horses that win a race is between 30% and 33% (source
Weatherbys.) While over an entire 10 year period Delta's figures
for purchases to winners stands at 86% - and the vast majority of
these have been multiple winners. This denotes that the horses which
Delta buys are physically sound and mentally tough.
They are also largely at the bottom end of the market, so represent
real VALUE.
