‘Pinhooking’ foals is when you purchase a foal to re-sell for profit as a yearling, approximately 10 months later. The foals tend to be between 7-10 months old when purchased and you are looking for a good value and athletic individual which you feel the agents, owners and trainers will want to purchase to race. In Europe the foals are usually purchased from the Tattersalls or Goffs November sale or Arqana December sale and then re-sold in the UK, Ireland or France between August and October of their yearling year.

Richard’s pinhooking successes have included turning 28,000gns into £120,000, €42,000 into €130,000, 42,000gns into 110,000gns, 32,000gns into £102,000, 47,000gns into €120,000, 120,000gns into 220,000gns, €55,000 into €90,000, £40,000 into £80,000, €50,000 into 85,000gns & €48,000 into 80,000gns.
