Dave Mee Visits HK, Macau and Singapore

2008-09-03

During May, October 2007 and again in August 2008, Dave Mee visited HK, Macau and Singapore to see exisiting clients as well as to establish and enhance relationships with additional individuals and syndicates seeking to purchase Australian bred and raised racehorses.
As a result of these trips Dave Mee Rachorse Sales Pty Ltd has further developed the bridge between Asian racehorse buyers and Australian sellers.
While the demand for Australian racehorses is as high as ever, for continued long term success, Dave Mee feels it important to relay to prospective Aus sellers the ideal 'type' of horse that Asian buyers are looking for.
Due to the high humidity, lack of space for spelling, the often wet tracks and general acclimatisation issues, Asian buyers generally prefer horses that meet the following criteria:

Mentally tough yet adaptable horses that possess a laid back disposition.
Horses with the abilty to handle wet tracks are favoured. HK's surface is more uniform throughout the year, but horses that handle the cut out of the ground are favoured in Macau and even more so in Singapore. While the majority of racing is on the grass, HK, Macau and Singapore all periodically race on sand/dirt tracks.
Front runners are preferred or horses who race handy to the pace. Generally speaking the tempo of the racing is quite fast and there is a bias for horses to be leading or sitting close to the pace. So without stating the obvious good gate speed is favoured.
Physically mature and forward animals. The often wet conditions can be detrimental to soft tissue, etc so animals that are more physically mature and developed have a higher chance of staying sound.

While owneship of racehorses is restricted in HK, the prizemoney on offer and the ownership incentives for Australians or any 'foreigner' in both Macau and Singapore are very attractive. For more information on selling horses to Asia, or information on prize money levels and ownership options in both Macau and Singapore please feel free to call Dave Mee on 0405 129 759.

About Dave Mee

2008-07-08

Established in November 2005, Dave Mee Racehorse Sales Pty Ltd was formed with the clear aim of becoming one of Australasia's pre-eminent Bloodstock Agencies.
Dave Mee has two simple goals:

To win Australasia’s major stake races with Racehorses he has directly been involved in selecting, purchasing and managing.
Maximizing returns for his clients in the commercial breeding industry.

Dave Mee grew up in New Zealand in a family involved in training and breeding horses. After completing a Marketing & Commerce degree he ventured overseas with the motivation and commitment to learn from the best thoroughbred businesses in North America and Europe. During his five years abroad he achieved this goal and worked for a number of very successful international agencies, stud farms and trainers. Of particular note were the two an a half years he spend working for the world's largest and most successful thoroughbred sales agency - Taylor Made Sales Agency (Kentucky USA); Clive Brittain (Newmarket, UK), trainer of thirteen classic races throughout Europe; and highly respected trainer and bloodstock agent, Eddie Woods (Florida USA).
Dave Mee set up his Bloodstock Agency specializing in selling Racehorses and Broodmare Prospects after spending a number of years working for several leading Sydney trainers, with whom he still has a close association.

In less than three years, starting with a limited client base, Dave Mee has been directly involved with the private transactions of horses worth a total of just under Aus$6 million. Horses have been bought and sold throughout Australia, as well as New Zealand, USA, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and Korea.
