versatile Black Type performer who<br />
won 4 times from 1200 to 2500m. Her<br />
grand-dam, the Blue Hen mare<br />
Professionelle, has produced 11<br />

much Black Type on the page. This is<br />
genuine residual value, especially if<br />

CONNECTIONS CORNER...<br />
The horses are our lifeblood and the Owners are our oxygen, so we thought it would<br />
be a great idea to introduce to you some of the people who make BlueBlood’s the<br />
success it has become to date. In this issue, we meet Jett Halls.<br />
How long have you been an Owner with Blueblood Thoroughbreds (<strong>BBT</strong>)?<br />
I have been an owner with <strong>BBT</strong> for almost 3 years.<br />
What got you interested in racing and then ownership?<br />
My father started to take me to the races when I was about 10 years of age. Since then I've fallen in<br />
love with the sport and attend the races at Randwick/Rosehill every Saturday. I now have shares in<br />
over 15 racehorses all over the country, spanning from Murwillumbah to Wangaratta, with my first slice<br />
of ownership being with <strong>BBT</strong> in a horse named Torvi. Getting the constant updates from the trainer and<br />
seeing vision of the horse in its different stages of life, starting from the breaking in process to its first<br />
day at the training track is what really sparked my interest in horse ownership.<br />
How many horses are you involved in currently with <strong>BBT</strong>?<br />
I currently have two horses with <strong>BBT</strong>, these being Cheerful Legend and Torvi. Hopefully more to come!<br />
What do u look for when you buy into a horse?<br />
When buying a share in a racehorse I break it down into two categories: tried horses and yearlings.<br />
When buying tried horses I think it is imperative to not only look at previous form and best ratings, but<br />
to also take into account any potential upside. For example, Cheerful Legend was bought by <strong>BBT</strong> as a<br />
4yo after a few below-par runs in Melbourne. However, he had some extremely good ratings in races in<br />
town the year before, including a 4th in the Group 2 VRC Sires and a 5th in the Listed Gothic Stakes. I<br />
often find that big trainers/owners sell their horses (typically geldings) relatively quickly after one or two<br />
bad preparations, which can lead to good ownership opportunities for prospective buyers who plan to<br />
race the horse in a new environment with a change of scenery.<br />
For yearlings it's more of a guessing game, focused heavily on pedigree. For me personally, I like to<br />
see a dam that is relatively young and has produced a notable amount of winners to runners,<br />
particularly as 2yos. In terms of the sire, my current favourites going are Capitalist and Extreme Choice.<br />
CONNECTIONS CORNER .
Which horses that you've owned with <strong>BBT</strong> have given you the biggest thrill?<br />
It’s been a great ride with Cheerful Legend so far. He’s won a couple races in town at both Rosehill and Randwick<br />
(on the kenso) and has been beaten a nose in two other Midways. He's a horse that more than pays for himself<br />
and always gives 100% on race day. Hopefully he can be winning in the Midway next weekend at Rosehill.<br />
Which race would you most love to win and why?<br />
Although it's perhaps not the most common answer, for me it's got to be the Golden Slipper. I haven't had the<br />
opportunity of racing many 2yos as of yet, but I love watching 2yo racing and seeing them progress from the<br />
Breeders/Gimcrack to the better races in the autumn. The day itself is always a lot of fun, with Rosehill packed to<br />
the brim with people from all over Australia to come and watch the famous race.<br />
Who is your favourite Trainer?<br />
This is a hard one. There's two that stand out at first thought. The first is Nathan Doyle, who I've had a few horses<br />
with (including Cheerful Legend). He is a bit underrated in my opinion, and when he sends a horse to town you<br />
know it's going well.<br />
The second would be Michael Freedman who needs no introduction. I find that his strike rate is extremely good,<br />
and he has trained a few of my better horses.<br />
How would you celebrate a nice win by one of your horses?<br />
Wins are few and far between sometimes, so it is imperative that we celebrate a win. Personally I enjoy heading<br />
into the city after the races and going to a nice steak restaurant for dinner, before going to a few bars and<br />
nightclubs.<br />
Do you have a race day superstition?<br />
Don't get me started. My biggest one would probably be that my girlfriend and I have to stand in the 1 metre by 1<br />
metre metal drainage square near the owners area at Rosehill to watch our horses run. And yes, we do get<br />
extremely weird looks from the people having lunch above us in the restaurant.<br />
Are you a punter and if yes do you have a best win story and a hard luck story?<br />
For sure. My best win story would probably be my win on Anamoe in the Group 1 Sires' Produce Stakes. Although<br />
he was about $2.2/1 that would have been by far the biggest WIN bet I have ever had, as I simply did not see him<br />
getting beaten that day. Aside from that, I've won a few good paying quaddies where I had at least 50%.<br />
My hard luck story, which I'll never forget, was choosing the first four in the 2020 Melbourne Cup for a healthy<br />
collect but forgetting to press "confirm bet" on my sportsbet app.<br />
What’s the funniest thing you have ever seen in racing?<br />
I personally love when horses try to bite their opposition in the run. It's quite odd to watch, and rarely ever happens,<br />
but when it does it gives me a laugh.<br />
Who is your favourite Sire?<br />
Capitalist and Extreme Choice<br />
What is the best part about being an Owner with <strong>BBT</strong>?<br />
It's hard to go past the constant updates from David and the team. He makes sure all owners are informed when<br />
and where their horses are running, and what the plan is moving forward. This is often not very common within the<br />
syndication industry and is something that I personally heavily appreciate.<br />
