Bloodstock Agents are more and more getting the reputations as the Lawyers of the Horse Racing Society......It is not prestigious to be in that profession this day and age in our game.....the best thing that new owners need to do is learn a bit about the game before they dive in head first and entrust these packs of wolves with their money.....My father invests more money into the game now for the SOLE REASON that he can trust me handling his business, but most investors have to trust people they have had no previous dealings with and this sport breeds more unethical behavior than maybe any other in the world.....

The sad thing about our game though is that even true certified professionals find a way to cheat and steal too......I know many Vets, Blacksmiths and van compaies that have also participated in a healthy share of overcharging owners, and it is harder to do anything about that....
