    I am an experience trainer, veterinarian, farm manager and bloodstock agent in America. I am seeking clients for the upcoming sales in America. My forte is acquiring moderately priced yearlings and bloodmares and developing them into stakes winners and producers.

    I am also seeking grantors/investors for Thoroughbred racing and breeding operations in America.

    ‘mam, i want to clarify the rumors about SLLP closure upon info that said race track had a big debt on the contractor.

    pls give feedback as bayankarerista’s are confusing regarding this matter.

    Hi Jenny! Congrats on your website, very interesting ang mga features mo dito, but i’m sure madadagdagan pa ito ng special features about horse racing sa Pinas. I’m base here sa L.A. California pero dyan pa din ako nangangarera sa atin. Sana madagdag mo sa features mo ang mga race replays ng bawat karera sa atin, yun bang race summary na pinakikita after all the races of the day. Kasi alam mo naman kaming mga OFW, dyan lang namin napapanood ang aming taya sa karera. More power and good luck on your new endeavour.
