Hi, my name is Neil Brockington and I am the Bloodstock Agent for A Trojan Bloodstock.  I am 43 years old and have loved horses since I was a young boy.  I was always fascinated with how big and beautiful they were, especially Racehorses and I would often go horse riding with my brothers and go to the races with my mother in Townsville, Brisbane & Darwin.  When I was 11 years old I became a strapper for a trainer in Darwin – Shane Clarke.  I have kept a close relationship with Shane and his wife Elizabeth (Liz) throughout my life.  Shane has taught me almost everything I know about Racehorses, including what to look for in a horse and how much they are worth.  I consider Shane a ‘Horse Whisperer’.  Shane is still training in Darwin and I respect him and his wealth of knowledge very much. 

Although I was not brought up in a racehorse family, my Uncle Tom Hamilton trained and owned several racehorses and worked at Eagle Farm throughout his life as a Carpenter as well.  I also worked at Eagle Farm as a part-time security person, looking after the horses as they checked in for race day.  Through this I met many trainers and became very interested in selling these fine animals.

Ten years ago I started selling racehorses from Brisbane, NSW and Victoria, to Townsville, Country Queensland, Alice Springs and Darwin.  Although I did this mainly as a hobby I got to know the industry very well.  I would also sell some of these horses to the Darwin Turf Club and receive a free holiday to the Darwin Cup for my services.  Through this I associated with many affiliated trainers and owners.  I now know that I am ready to take on this role as a Bloodstock Agent professionally and I feel I can pass on my wealth of knowledge and experience gained since I was a young boy.

To Whom It May Concern

I have known Neil Brockington for 5 years.  Any dealings I have had with Neil, either buying or selling, I have always found him to be honest and obliging.

To Whom It May Concern:

I have known Neil Brockington since he was ten years old when he used to be my stable hand and strapper.

I have found Neil to be honest and sincere with everything he does including being a Bloodstock Agent.  Over the last seven years I have owned and trained horses through Neil's dealings with myself, including Perfect Peace, who won numerous times (including The Pine Creek Cup); Burn the Deck, who also won many races, plus many more.

I have only the utmost praise for the way Neil has handled all negotiations including keeping me updated with all new horses for sale.  I wish Neil all the very best for the future in his Bloodstock work and because I know his love for horses, I know that he won't let you down.
