Welcome to THIS ISSUE OF BBT <strong>Monthly</strong><br />

I hope you’re all beating the cold especially our friends in the southern States!<br />

Winter has definitely made its presence felt causing many wet tracks which are<br />

playing a bit of havoc with some of our horses’ results.<br />

Some flops you just have to put a line through but we’ve been lucky enough to<br />

get 4 winners this month.<br />

Rhodesian Diamond, Luconi, Twin Turbo and Exceed the Sky have all<br />

given their owners something to smile about.<br />

You can hear all about their victories in David’s <strong>Monthly</strong> Video Wrap.<br />

With the Australians doing us proud at the Olympic Games capturing Gold<br />

after Gold, we hope you’re taking advantage of our Go For Gold Promotion.<br />

If you’re thinking of buying a share in one of our horses,now is a fantastic time<br />

to secure a share with 5% discount on all shares, plus a free BlueBlood<br />

<strong>Thoroughbreds</strong> limited edition puffer jacket or vest and cap. You’ll also receive<br />

a free month of Management fees.<br />

The promotion runs for the duration of the Games so there is still time left to<br />

take advanatge of the opportunity but hurry as jacket numbers are limited and<br />

many people have jumped on board already.<br />

<strong>Aug</strong>ust 1st as you may well know is the official Birthday of horses in the<br />

Southern Hemisphere. We will be giving your horse an extra carrot or two for<br />

the milestone and we look forward to some of our 2yo’s launching their careers<br />

in the not too distant future.<br />

One such horse is a superb colt by Russian Revolution out of Rocket Of<br />

Ransom. He’s a spectacular grey individual who’s just commenced pre-training<br />

with Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr. More information on him is available in<br />

this issue and I’m sure you will like what you see.<br />

Have a fantastic month!<br />

EXCITING OPPORTUNITY!<br />

Just $3,350 per 2.5% share in this outstanding<br />

colt by Russian Revolution to be trained by<br />

Mick Price & Michael Kent Jr<br />

Russian Revolution has just completed another breakout season<br />

at stud finishing on top of the 3rd Season Sire list by winners<br />

and 2nd to Hellbent on prizemoney.<br />

This superb colt has gone from strength to strength every time we’ve reported on his progress. He is currently<br />

in pre-training and just a week or so from heading to Victoria to the Price Kent yard to start full training.<br />

Hopefully he will be forward enough to get to the races this time in. All indicators suggest that’s the case so we<br />

could be looking at a late Spring debut for this guy. Regardless, he is an excitement package and we cannot<br />

wait to unleash him!<br />

Take advantage of our GO FOR GOLD promotion running while the Olympics are on and receive 5% discount<br />

on the purchase price, a month of free management and a limited edition BBT puffer vest of jacket and a cap.<br />

CONNECTIONS CORNER...<br />

The horses are our lifeblood and the Owners are our oxygen, so we thought it<br />

would be a great idea to introduce to you some of the people who make<br />

BlueBlood’s the success it has become to date.<br />

STEVEN THOMPSON<br />

How long have you been an Owner with <strong>Blueblood</strong> <strong>Thoroughbreds</strong> (BBT)?<br />

3 and 1/2 years<br />

What got you interested in racing and then ownership?<br />

My dad was avid punter. We bought a horse together in the mid nineties. I've owned dozens of<br />

horses since, including Shaye Spice, Moonee Valley horse of the year.<br />

How many horses are you involved in currently with BBT?<br />

Currently 9<br />

What do u look for when you buy into a horse.<br />

I rely 100% on recommendation of trainers and agents.<br />

Which horses that you've owned with BBT have given you the biggest thrill.<br />

Quite excited about Luconi. He looks like he has a very bright future.<br />

Which race would you most love to win and why? Melbourne Cup, Slipper or Cox Plate.<br />

Happy with any of them.<br />

Who is your favourite Trainer?<br />

I like Peter Moody's brutal honesty but Gai and Adrian doing a great job with Luconi.<br />

Which jockey would you want on every one of your horses?<br />

Would have been D Oliver but there are so many great Jockeys now.<br />

How do you celebrate a nice win by one of your horses?<br />

Buy another horse!<br />

STEVEN THOMPSON (Cont.)<br />

Are you a punter and if yes do you have a best win story and a hard luck story?<br />

Not really a punter. Bet on my own horses when I think they're a chance. Bet when I go the races.<br />

Roxby Downs Cup this weekend. Few bevvies and a punt!<br />

Do you prefer when your horses win by leading all the way or finishing hard over top?<br />

Finishing hard over the top.<br />

Your favourite Racecourse?<br />

Flemington<br />

What’s the funniest thing you have ever seen in racing?<br />

I named Shaye Spice after my daughter Shaye. She won her first start by 6 lengths at Oakbank.<br />

Shaye was a toddler and when the crowd started screaming for Shaye Spice, my daughter was<br />

astonished that everyone knew her name, and why were they yelling it out!<br />

Who is your favourite Sire?<br />

Nicconi<br />

Can you remember your first winner with BBT?<br />

Zoughandi I think<br />

Is there anything you would change about horse racing?<br />

More prize money would encourage more ownership<br />

What is the best part about being an Owner with BBT?<br />

It’s hassle free. Previously I was normally the manager, dealing with other Owners, Trainers and<br />

Jockeys. Not always enjoyable.<br />

What’s In A Name?<br />

Ever thought you were born to do something?<br />

Jockeys:<br />

J. Whipp, D. Short, B. Small, A. Prentice<br />

J. Quinell(a) A.Ryder, C. Pace, N. Furlong<br />

C. Puls and T.Block.<br />

Trainers:<br />

R. Goodwin, J. Sadler, C. Crook, R. Hay<br />
