ABOUT Roos Thoroughbred Services I have been involved in Thoroughbred racing since 1975, when my dad bought his first racehorse. Racing quickly became my life, and worked each summer in my youth on a horse farm. After high school, I attended the University of Kentucky, where I attended every major horse sale of the early 1980s. It is there where I learned much about the inner workings of the industry. I then went to work for perennial leading trainer John Rigattieri, one of the top percentage trainers of the last 30 years. I worked my way up to Assistant Trainer before taking out my license in 1987. My training career spanned 16 years, with the highlight being training local champion Achenar. My proudest achievement by far is that I NEVER lost a horse in a race due to injury. I retired with not a single bad test on my record. I have a strong belief in the industry and can sheppard potential participants away from less than honorable trainers, agents and pitfalls. Whether you need help at the sales, setting up partnerships, or consulting on any racing matter, I am glad to help.Areas of Concentration: • PARTNERSHIPS • CONSULTING & SALES • WEB DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHPS After 16 years of training, I learned a great deal about partnerships. Most fail due to overwhelming management charges that the partnerships add on. Surprisingly this goes for well known partnerships, as fees and expenses eat any possible profits. We believe in making money when YOU make money. Learn More >> | Top of Page CONSULTING & SALES I have attended many sales, and have bought many good solid horses, and for very short money. In fact I have even picked out stakes winners for under 5,000! I take a different approach and I believe it pays off for my clients. Private purchases and claims have also netted my clients many great buys.
