  Accomplishments    
  Bradley Thoroughbred Brokerage has been trading horses, at the top end of the game, for the past decade. We have been very fortunate to work for some of the best people in the industry, and to have a hand in the interest of some of the best horses in the world. Here is a sampling:
   
       
 
Stallions
   
 

LATENT HEAT - BTB in partnership with Peter O’Callaghan’s Woods Edge Farm purchased and syndicated 2006 [G1] Malibu S. winner LATENT HEAT. The son of Maria’s Mon, who hails from a top Juddmonte family, saw his book fill quickly in 2008, his initial year at stud and he has proved extremely fertile.

ALDEBARAN - BTB brokered the transaction to purchase a 50% interest in Multiple [G1] winner ALDEBARAN's breeding rights and future syndication, prior to the Metropolitan Handicap in 2002. ALDEBARAN won or placed in 23-of-25 starts for career earnings of $1,739,127, including the Forego H. [G1], Metropolitan H. [G1], Churchill Downs H. [G2], and the Tom Fool H. [G2]. ALDEBARAN has since retired to Darby Dan Farm to stand at stud beginning in 2004.

BRAHMS - was purchased from Coolmore Ireland, after showing significant talent as a 2 yo, for a syndicate that included Tom Van Meter.  He proved very valuable winning the [G1] Hollywood Derby and retiring to Stud at Vinery, where he stands for $10,000 LF.  His first crop to race includes ten winners and one stakes winner.  He is showing promise for a successful stud career.

TOUCH GOLD - As part of a package deal, BTB purchased an interest in TOUCH GOLD for Stonerside Stables. TOUCH GOLD won the [G1] Belmont S. and [G1] Haskell Invitational before going on to a successful stud career at Adena Springs, where he has sired Grade I winners Midas Eyes, Composure, Seek Gold, Mass Media, etc.

Other Stallions procured, managed, sold or leased by BTB include: BELONG TO ME , SWEPT OVERBOARD, DISTORTED HUMOR, KING CUGAT, BROCCO, SUPREMO, POLISH NAVY.

Racing and Pinhooking
   
 

DREAM RUSH – D & B Ventures, managed by BTB, pinhooked the Wild Rush filly DREAM RUSH for $90,000 at the 2005 Keeneland September Sale and resold her to West Point Thoroughbreds for $285,000 at the following year’s OBS February Sale. DREAM RUSH went on to be one of the best sprinting fillies of 2007, winning four graded stakes, including the GI Darley Test S. and [G1] Prioress Breeders’ Cup S. DREAM RUSH sold to Halsey Minor for $3.3 million as a racing prospect at the 2007 Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

WINDSHARP - BTB purchased WINDSHARP in France for trainer, Wally Dollase. Returning to the U.S., she won two Grade I’s and two Grade II’s. She beat males in the ‘95 GI San Luis Rey S. and closed out her career with a win in the GI Beverly Hills H. in ‘97. As a broodmare, WINDSHARP has proven just as prodigious. Her first foal, the Gone West son Johar, was a dead-heat winner of the GI Breeders’ Cup Turf, while her second, the Storm Cat daughter Dessert, won the GI Del Mar Oaks and sold to Shadwell as a broodmare for $3.3 million. WINDSHARP was herself a $6.1-million broodmare purchase by Darley.

SAUVAGE (2001 f. by SRI PEKAN our of SANS PRIX) was purchased, after winning the listed La Coupe de Pouliches in the Provinces of France, by BTB on behalf of Bill Diamant.  After arriving in the US, she took some time to get her act together, and it proved worth while, as she went on to win the GII Sheepshead Bay Handicap at Belmont.  She is training for a winter campaign in Florida.

HELMSMAN - Purchased privately by BTB, HELMSMAN was a tough and consistent runner who won the GI Strub S. and GII San Fernando S. on dirt and was a graded winner and finished second in the GI Hollywood Derby and GI Woodbine Mile on grass. He won over $1.1 million.

BELGRAVIA - From the immediate family of dual Classic winner Afleet Alex, BELGRAVIA, a son of Mr. Greeley, was hammered down to D & B Ventures, a BTB partnership, for $180,000 as a yearling in 2005. The striking chestnut sold for over 10 times that amount at the following season’s Fasig-Tipton Calder Sale when Coolmore’s Demi O’Byrne landed BELGRAVIA for $2 million. BELGRAVIA won the GIII Hollywood Prevue S. in just his second career start and was fourth, beaten 1 1/4 lengths, in the GI Hollywood Futurity S. in his next outing.

BADOUIZM - A BTB partnership acquired the Sheikh Albadou (GB) filly BADOUIZM for just $5,000 as a yearling in 1997. BADOUIZM was later sold privately and went on to win the GII Lake Placid H. at Saratoga by a neck for her new owners. BADOUIZM earned $242,190.

ITSALLGREEKTOME – Shot-listed by Pete Bradley and purchased by Wally Dollase as a yearling for $75,000, ITSALLGREEKTOME became a turf star who earned just shy of $2 million and who enjoyed a championship season in 1990. The Wally Dollase-trained runner captured the GI Hollywood Turf Cup S. and GI Hollywood Derby that season and was also runner-up in the GI Breeders’ Cup Mile, earning him an Eclipse Award as Champion Turf Male.

LONE STAR SKY - purchased by D&B Ventures for $50,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Select Yearling Sale. He was sold for $190,000 at the OBS Select Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale at Calder. Because of a veterinarian dispute, the Sellers allowed the Purchaser to return the colt. D&B Ventures in turn sold LONE STAR SKY privately to their client Walter "Buddy" New. The colt broke his maiden impressively at Arlington and then set a stake record in the Bashford Manor [G3] at Churchill Downs. He hooked up with one of the fastest two-year-olds this season at Saratoga in ZAVATA, and ran a good second in the Saratoga Special [G2], before handily winning the $200,000 Cradle Stakes at River Downs. Florida Horse Breeders and Owners Association named Lone Star Sky Florida-Bred Champion Two-Year-Old Colt/Gelding.
