A dedicated young team, striving for success

about us

Linehan Bloodstock is a young, ambitious and hard-working bloodstock agency based at Lackendarra Stables, Co. Cork, Ireland. The Linehan Bloodstock team consists of bloodstock agents and consultants who specialise in the selection, purchasing and management of thoroughbred racehorses.

The diverse Linehan Bloodstock team are active at all major Flat and National Hunt sales throughout the year, including foal, yearling, breeze-up and store sales, working closely with clients to purchase the highest quality bloodstock. Yearling acquisition has been a speciality for Linehan Bloodstock in recent years, with the aim of producing two-year-olds for the breeze-up sales under the Lackendarra Stables banner.

Linehan Bloodstock has worked closely with clients such as Johnny Murtagh, Edward and Patrick Harty Racing, Eugene O'Sullivan and BBA Ireland to source winners across both Flat and National Hunt codes. The Group 1 Matron Stakes winner Champers Elysees and Royal Ascot heroine Create Belief are notable graduates.

Linehan Bloodstock continues to grow the operations and the scope of services, offering expert pedigree analysis through the Racing Post's Aisling Crowe and race planning from former jockeys Denis Linehan and David Mullins.
