Australian connections back older model Vauban to drive Melbourne Cup ambitions

By Laurence Schuberth • March 28, 2025
Australian Bloodstock director Luke Murrell is not afraid to take a decent punt on overseas stayers in his quest for more Melbourne Cup glory. Usually, though, the horse is younger than seven-year-old Vauban. “We’ve only bought a couple of expensive ones like him at that level, and they’ve always been three or four-year-olds,” Murrell said. “This one was older, but it’s probably like buying the Camry off the one-owner lady that’s got only 20,000kms on it, even though it’s 10 years old. “When you look at his record, he’d won eight of 21, and he was always a tough, sound horse, because those VRC protocols are ridiculous, so for him to pass them, he’s very sound.” Murrell and fellow Australian Bloodstock founder Jamie Lovett have built their syndication company on buying the right horse and giving clients a shot at the Melbourne Cup, and other features along the way. Protectionist put them on the map with his dominant Cup win in 2014 and Gold Trip, which cost more than $2 million, repaid them with victory in 2022. Vauban, though, is a new direction for Australian Bloodstock, which went halves with trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott in a purchase believed to be close to $2 million after last year’s Cup.

Wootton Lass Salutes at Randwick

By Laurence Schuberth • March 26, 2025
Two strong juvenile maiden races at Randwick on Wednesday very nearly produced a winning double for Coolmore based shuttler Wootton Bassett (GB) with his colt Regulated Affair missing by a whisker on debut and then his talented filly Wootton Lass made amends with a stylish victory at her second start.

Vauban defies heatwave to win on debut for new Australian connections following A$2 million sale

By Laurence Schuberth • March 16, 2025
Vauban started his new chapter in Australia in fine style when thundering home to win the Sky High Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday. On his first start since finishing 11th in the Melbourne Cup for trainer Willie Mullins and owners Rich and Susannah Ricci, Vauban made a winning debut for Australian Bloodstock following his A$2 million (£1.02m/€1.22m) sale shortly after the Flemington feature last November. Almost three years to the day since the now seven-year-old won the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, he was racing in very different conditions to what he is used to, with temperatures soaring to a sweltering 36C in the Sydney suburbs. The 1m2f trip of the Group 3 Sky High was also the shortest distance Vauban has run over in his career, which yielded eight wins in 21 starts in Europe. Despite those challenges, he proved up to the task as he overhauled Arapaho on the line to score by a nose under Tim Clark.

Gai lauds Vauban return

Joining Australian Bloodstock as a part-owner of a racehorse has been an exhilarating and rewarding journey. As a horse enthusiast, investing in a share of a thoroughbred with them has been a remarkable experience.

The team's passion for horses is infectious, and their dedication to ensuring a positive experience for all owners is evident. Being part of "Team AB" has been full of exciting moments.


The standout feature of my experience with Australian Bloodstock is the team's approachability and open communication. They keep owners well-informed about our horse's progress, are always ready to answer questions, and offer insights into the racing world. This transparency in operations builds trust and makes the journey of horse ownership even more enjoyable.


Moreover, the networking opportunities that come with being a part of the Australian Bloodstock community are invaluable, especially for business owners like myself. It's a diverse group, united by a love for horses, offering great chances for professional and personal connections.


Overall, my experience with Australian Bloodstock has been incredible, combining the thrill of horse ownership with camaraderie and networking opportunities. Their professionalism, transparency, and passion for racing make them an excellent choice for anyone interested in racehorse syndication. It's an unforgettable and gratifying experience that I am proud to be a part of.

“Winning a black type race overseas (with Delectation) is something I could never have imagined, and I have the greatest admiration and respect for the Australian Bloodstock guys. They are amazing how successful they have been at picking a horse with talent overseas, and bringing them to Australia and winning races. Their strike rate is so good. Big Duke is a prime example. He had won one race in England (at Wetherby) when Australian Bloodstock bought him, and he has since won the Launceston Cup and Manion Cup and Chairman’s Handicap in Sydney for us”


CLAUDE RENSHAW

An Australian Bloodstock Racehorse Owner

As one of the owners of 2014 Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist, the Mendooran (NSW) farmer understandably rated the German stayer’s runaway victory, with English jockey Ryan Moore aboard, as his greatest thrill in racing.


“It’s been a wonderful association and, of course, still is with Australian Bloodstock.

There’s no way I could ever have envisaged getting the opportunity to win races all over the world in countries such as Germany, France, Singapore and New Zealand”

  • Will I be able to visit my horse?

    Yes, you just need to contact us and book a time. Generally Sundays are not available.

  • How long until my horse races?

    Every horse is different, some will be 2yo runners and other later, both Australian Bloodstock and your trainer will keep you updated regularly on the progress and likely start of your horse. It’s worth remembering there is approx. 22,000 horses born each year in Australia and only around 2000 of them run as 2yr olds. All our stock are fully educated during this period but we don’t rush our horses, if they show they are ready to race then we race them, if not we be patient and wait till they are ready.


  • Do I get updates on how my horse is going?

    Yes, you will receive regular updates via video and audio from both us and your trainer.



  • Do I own my horse forever?

    Yes. You own your horses until we decide to sell or retire him or her.


  • What if my horse goes to stud?

    If your horse goes to stud you will receive your % share of all profits that the horse makes, this can come in a one-off payment if the horse is sold outright or on ongoing income if the breeder only buys a portion of the horse.


  • Does Australian Bloodstock remain in the ownership group?

    Yes we do, we keep from 10-30% of each horse we syndicate as we have confidence in our selection process and we are here to enjoy the thrill of racing also. You are brought in as a partner.



  • Do I pick where my horse runs?

    Being in a syndicate with many other owners doesn’t lend itself to everyone having a say on where your horse runs. We employ the best trainers in the land so between us and them you will have your horse placed in the right races. Our main priority with each horse is to place them to advantage and where we think they will earn the biggest cheque.
