Gary Hadden graduated from the Darley Flying Start program in 2006, and, even at this early stage in his career, is bloodstock and pedigree consultant to some of Europe's leading breeders. Since 2010 he has advised on the matings of 12 individual group/graded stakes winners, including two multiple-G1-winning two-year-olds.

Bill Oppenheim
has been the industry's leading auction market analyst for the last 35 years and an innovator in the evaluation of sire performance, including the APEX sire rating system featured in his widely read and wide-ranging Thoroughbred Daily News column. Since introducing his APEX ratings in the late 1980s, he has continued to refine them, more recently, applying his APEX data to assessing a sire's crop-by-crop performance trend as it relates to a measure of opportunity. These considerations, along with the individual characteristics of immediate ancestors, figure prominently in his private consulting work, including mating advice.
