Its been 8 years since Josh Stevens started buying horses at public auction, and we thought is was time to look back at the numbers. He started buying in 2012 for Gunpowder Farms buying MG1P millionaire BREAKING LUCKY as a weanling, then buying MG1W and millionaire DIVISIDERO the next September as a yearling. Below are the statistics for horses purchased as racing prospects at public auction.

Josh Stevens' attention to detail is hard to miss. Ask the 30-year-old bloodstock agent a question and the response that comes back is equal part thoughtful and thorough. He can recall what he wrote on a Keeneland catalog page four years ago - 'Target Horse' - when his eye told him the Kitten's Joy yearling(Divisidero) in front of him had a jigsaw puzzle of potential that just needed time to come together. And about that Lookin at Lucky weanling(Breaking Lucky) he helped buy in 2012? 'Well-muscled, well-balanced, exactly what you want'.
