Peter Snowden has enjoyed success<br />

grand-dam, the Blue Hen mare<br />

Professionelle, has produced 11<br />

much Black Type on the page. This is<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 />
