The Team

Rob and Corinna Slade of Slade Bloodstock joined forces with leading trainer Lee Freedman to provide quality racehorse ownership opportunities.

It is a partnership that accelerated meteorically with the arrival of Alinghi - a filly purchased by the Slade/Freedman team for $80,000 who went on to win four Group One races and over $3.4 million in prizes.
