Our stable’s star performers regularly light up Australia’s biggest race meetings. From Zaaki’s Group 1 dominance to rising stars like Amelia’s Jewel, we’re building a legacy of excellence that spans from The Championships to the Melbourne Spring Carnival.
Zaaki's multiple Group 1 victories across Sydney and Melbourne carnivals demonstrate our ability to prepare horses for racing's biggest stages, from Randwick's Queen Elizabeth Stakes to Flemington's Mackinnon Stakes.
Current stable stars including Lady Laguna, Sunshine In Paris, and Amelia's Jewel continue our tradition of developing horses that excel at premier meetings across Australia's major racing centres.
Our three-state operation allows us to target the perfect races for each horse, whether it's the Golden Slipper at Rosehill, the Blue Diamond at Caulfield, or the Magic Millions on the Gold Coast.
The marriage of Annabel and Rob in 2024 created not just a personal union but a powerful professional partnership that combines complementary skills for the benefit of every owner and horse.
Our progressive approach to horse development ensures each galloper receives the individual attention needed to reach their potential, whether they're destined for sprint features or staying classics.
We pride ourselves on exceptional communication and creating memorable experiences for owners, from trackwork mornings to celebrating victories at Australia's most prestigious race meetings.
Join the Archibald stable and become part of a racing family that’s redefining success in Australian thoroughbred racing. With our proven track record, strategic locations, and passionate approach, your horse will have every opportunity to shine on racing’s biggest stages.
Ownership shares with Blueblood start from $990 per share, depending on the pedigree, trainer, and projected campaign of the horse.
This is a one-off payment that covers your share for the full syndicate term — there are no surprise monthly bills. Each PDS outlines all costs clearly before you commit.
Most syndicate terms run for approximately two to three years, aligned with the racing development and career of the horse.
After this period, you can choose to reinvest in another horse or step away. You’ll never be locked in beyond the agreed term set out in the PDS.
As a Blueblood owner, you get far more than a share in a horse. You’ll receive regular updates (videos, photos, reports), stable visit invitations, and race day access when your horse competes — particularly at top Sydney venues like Randwick and Rosehill Gardens. It’s ownership made easy, exciting, and rewarding.
Blueblood brings together owners from all walks of life who love the sport.
Our goal is to make every ownership journey exciting and enjoyable.
We only syndicate racehorses with strong pedigrees and real racing potential.
We believe communication is essential to truly enjoying the racehorse ownership experience, which is why we go above and beyond to keep you informed every step of the way.
All-inclusive pricing with no hidden extras
Our pricing is fully transparent — you pay a one-time fee upfront (from $990), which covers your share for the entire syndicate term. This includes:
No monthly surprises, just one clear cost.
Hi Carol, Just wanted to say thanks for yesterday with Zero Doubt. To get a Saturday city winner with my first horse at my favourite track with my favourite jockey on was a truly memorable day!
Customer
Hi David,
Thanks to Blueblood Thoroughbreds, Michael Costa, and all concerned for the detailed communication with syndicate owners.
Ownership today is far more exciting and accessible than it was 20 years ago. I truly appreciate being part of this journey, even in a small way.
Customer
This is probably the most gratifying win I have ever been involved in. I said originally I would have been happy just to see Denman Flyer returned to health – two wins and a second are beyond expectations.
Congratulations again to you and Carol for showing faith in the horse and the owners and for placing him in such great hands.
Founder
Having purchased shares in 3 x yearlings that have all gone on to be multiple winners—Rock Temple, Black Revolver, and Lonnero—we can attest that Blueblood Thoroughbreds know what they’re doing when it comes to yearling selection.
The level of communication and engagement with syndication members is exceptional. If anyone is thinking of racing young horses, especially those new to racing, you should seriously consider racing with Blueblood.
Customer
This is probably the most gratifying win I have ever been involved in. I said originally I would have been happy just to see Denman Flyer returned to health – two wins and a second are beyond expectations.

Hi Carol,
I bought this share on my 57th wedding anniversary. On True Kisses’ right shoulder is my birth year 33 and on the left shoulder is my wife’s initials, DP – Doreen Phyllis. What are the odds?
Customer
Hi David,
Thank you for your introduction and latest update. Super quick response as I only came on board this morning – much appreciated. This is my first venture into ownership, and already I feel confident I’ve chosen a very professional outfit in Blueblood.
Looking forward to the journey – and hopefully meeting you, Carol, and the other owners in the winner’s circle!
Customer
Annabel’s horsemanship and tactical instincts perfectly complement Rob’s business acumen and international experience. This combination creates a stable environment where horses thrive and owners feel truly valued as part of our racing family.

Every horse receives an individualised training program based on their unique characteristics and goals. Our progressive methods focus on bringing out each horse’s natural ability while ensuring their wellbeing remains our top priority.
Communication is key to our success. Owners receive regular updates on their horse’s progress and enjoy exclusive access to trackwork sessions, race day experiences, and our famous hospitality at major race meetings.
Our horses compete across all distances and age groups, from two-year-old features like the Golden Slipper to staying tests like the Sydney Cup. Our multi-state presence allows us to target the perfect opportunities for each horse.
