Dissolving The Partnership
Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott have combined their years of experience in the industry to build
a winning team and their dedication and commitment is reflected in their consistently high
strike rate, at the elite level, both in NSW and VIC.
Every year, Gai & Adrian select and purchase yearlings at the major sales on behalf of existing
owners and those newly-interested. They pride themselves on finding value for owners when
selecting a horse and they have a proven record of producing champions from those
purchases, changing the lives of their owners.
Racing your own horse can be more affordable than you may think, however, for those that are
looking to spread their risk through shares in multiple horses we facilitate the opportunity to
race horses in partnerships with other owners. We will manage the entire process for you, from
start to finish, at no additional cost.
GETTING INVOLVED
WITH THE STABLE &
OWNERSHIP OPTIONS
page 1
A tremendous amount of time and resources
are spent in order to identify and select the
superior racehorse. Gai & Adrian undergo pre-
sale inspections whether it be in Sydney,
Melbourne or Queensland to ensure each and
every yearling has been inspected and re-
inspected before they go through the sales
ring. Every year, Gai & Adrian select and
purchase yearlings at all the major sales in
Australia in order to cater to the various levels
of ownership.
The horses identified are of a broad range from
horses targeting the Golden Slipper to horses
targeting The Oaks and Derbys. Our team of
professionals are here to help match the right
type of horse, with your personal preference in
order to help fulfil your ownership dream.
Our team also venture to Europe to select
and purchase proven horses (horses that
have already raced) to target at the major
Cups and staying races here in Australia.
Past European imports include Gai’s
Melbourne Cup winner, Fiorente, Group 1
Sydney Cup winners, The Offer & Knights
Order, Group 1 The Metropolitan winner,
Glencadam Gold, and Group 1 The
Metropolitan runner-up, Julienas.
PRE-SALE INSPECTIONS &

Gai & Adrian's primary aim is to focus on purchasing horses that are able to compete
and win at the elite level, whilst sustaining longevity in their career. The model of
Australian racing is one of the best in the world and it is built around the excitement of
the large amount of prizemoney on offer, which would rival any racing jurisdiction in
the world.
This makes ownership and racing sustainable and therefore, it is vitally important that
horses can continue to compete at this level throughout their career which is achieved
by selecting a sound horse with good conformation.
