Bloodstock Notebook

Bloodstock Notebook is what the bloodstock business reads in bed. It’s an annual print publication, distributed at the December Sales at Tattersalls in Newmarket every winter. We’ve produced four issues and people keep on saying that they find it engaging, entertaining and enlightening, which is very kind of them. Bloodstock Notebook isn’t about betting, or racing politics, or a load of tedious guff about stallions who stand for £500 a pop, or concerned with what may or may not win the 3.30 at Chepstow tomorrow.

Instead, we like to think that it celebrates the bloodstock business and those (human and equine) in it. If you like a good story, told well, by all sorts of people, rather than the absolute bilge that seems to masquerade as ‘bloodstock editorial’ elsewhere, or if you’re simply bored rigid and holed up in Tier 34 lockdown, then maybe you’ll enjoy Bloodstock Notebook, too.

Importantly, the printed magazine is what we do best. Not the website. This is just the website of the magazine, if that makes sense, rather than vice-versa. What you’ll find here is the abridged highlights of the first four years of Bloodstock Notebook. Not all the bits, but the best bits, the Greatest Hits, the bits we’d paid for and didn’t want to lock away in a cupboard away from the light of day. We’ve tried quite hard to make it easy for you to find your way around, not least because there are a lot of people in this industry who could be described as ‘Can’t Understand New Technology’.
