The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (TBA) has announced the line-up for its annual Forum at Tattersalls on Thursday, November 27. Entitled Building Bloodlines; Broodmare Evaluation and Purchase, it will take place on the 'dark day' of the Tattersalls December Foal Sale, starting at 5pm.
Free to attend, the event will examine the process of buying a mare and building foundation bloodlines, with consideration of pedigree, racing form, physical attributes and setting a budget.
The expert panel will be hosted by Gina Bryce and consists of Newsells Park Stud general manager Julian Dollar, TBA deputy chair Kate Sigsworth, bloodstock consultant Jocelyn de Moubray, and bloodstock agent Arthur Dobell. A Q&A session will follow.
Naomi Mellor, chief executive of the TBA said, “We are really looking forward to hosting our annual forum at Tattersalls with an expert panel assembled to discuss the subject of building bloodlines and the purchasing process of buying a broodmare, which we hope will really appeal to both our existing membership and anyone thinking about taking those first steps into breeding.
“We are particularly pleased to be opening up this event to both ROA members as well as ITBA members. A big part of the TBA's agenda next year is to develop our future pipeline of breeders and provide engaging opportunities and events for both our members, but also new entrants and enthusiasts alike to exchange knowledge, ideas and importantly ask questions.
“Our thanks to Tattersalls for providing us with the stage and to all our panellists for giving up their valuable time.”
Complimentary mulled wine and sausage rolls will be served, with the event set to end at 6.45pm. While attendance is free, pre-registration is required via this link.
