“I’ve worked with Clark for the last seven years and he helps to add another dimension to my skills. Particularly, with pedigrees and mating analysis. Great guy, trustworthy!”
“Clark Shepherd is a superb pedigree analyst. He utilizes his comprehensive knowledge of bloodlines to select the appropriate breeding for a broodmare considering both sales potential and expected racing performance of the future foal. His expertise includes providing effective assistance at weanling and yearling sales. Couldn’t be more pleased with our relationship.”
“Clark brings integrity and independence to his recommendations. His engineering background causes him to make data based decisions rather than running with the latest market fad. Much of The Elkstone Group’s breeding success has been attributable to Clark.”
“I was new to the racehorse business, so I put out some inquiries to look for someone who has years of experience and a proven track record. I eventually reached out to Clark and I am nothing but impressed. He walked me through each stage from the inception to the purchasing of a racehorse. He explained each step very clearly and made the process not only informative but very enjoyable. I now have two horses in the racing stable and Clark and I are looking for a third. If you are looking for the best, Clark is your man.”
“Clark is one of the hardest working people in the horse business. He wears many hats and assumes many responsibilities. In my dealings with Clark over the years, I have seen his involvement in the industry grow exponentially. When he is looking for racing or breeding prospects at the countless horse auctions in Lexington, Florida, Maryland and New York, there is nobody better at finding the proverbial “diamond in the rough.” Clark’s background is multi-faceted: he was a sales consignor for many years; he comes from a trainer’s family; and he is a seasoned bloodstock advisor and racing manager. All of these disciplines have helped make Clark into the consummate horseman. On top of that, Clark is an astute businessman so he knows how to get value for his clients. It’s no wonder that Clark’s record of buying stakes winners is so strong.”
“I have known and worked with Clark for the last 15 years as a consignor, agent, and consultant. I rank him at the top of the list for honesty, dependability, and reliability. His knowledge of pedigrees is outstanding, and he can pick out the physical to match!”
Clark’s journey for his clients only begins when the hammer drops. His horsemanship and integrity become strong and thorough as the horse and relationship between the trainer and client progresses. Truly a man that I always want on our team.
