Between hemispheres, Albert Bosma has most angles covered as a global strategy towards bloodstock starts to crystallise into a diverse portfolio of racehorses.
On his doorstep, Bosma can access contemporary New Zealand bloodlines curated from rich pastures of farms like the world-renowned Waikato Stud.
Australia provides a setting to continue a decades-long connection to champion trainer Chris Waller and an opportunity to build new relationships with stables that race for prize money that is leaving other countries behind.
In Ireland and the UK, Bosma has tapped into the rapid but unsurprising emergence of Joseph O’Brien, a trainer he affectionately calls “Baby Jesus” simply because his father, Aidan, is a god-like figure in that part of the world.
O’Brien’s horsemanship is complemented by Stuart Boman, the ex-pat who has made a name for himself in the northern hemisphere bloodstock industry as an agent with an eye for a horse who will adapt and thrive under Australian racing conditions.
