Subject: Our Sincere Sympathy
Dear David and Yoshiko-san,
We were incredibly sad to hear about the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth. We would like to offer my sincere condolences on behalf of our company.
We are watching the Queen’s state funeral on TV. Looking at her numerous ceremonies up to this day, we have reconfirmed how deeply she was respected by the people.
The Queen was much admired and respected in Japan. She will be remembered for her grace, leadership and strong sense of duty. We in Japan share your grief.
We are proud to had sold the Queen’s protected Cleveland Bay to the Imperial Stud.
Yours sincerely,
“Thanks David 100% agree. Thank you for everything this season as well”.
“Thanks again for all the time/effort/thought you put into caring for the horses, finding the best races for them and giving us such fun as their owners”.
“Incredible, fascinating and frequent reporting to shareholders of the Hintlesham horses – I have not seen the like”
Hello David! Thank you very much for your advices, thanks for you I’d got a lot of experience and knowledge, you are my first and only mentor. I very appreciate our relations. Good luck to you and all your team!
Hi David, thanks for your e-mails regarding Flying Standard and Rodolfo – well reported! Great day yesterday and lots of fun! Best wishes, Peter.
An outstanding offer from the Stallion Syndicate, working with Breeders to keep the racing industry alive. Thank you.
“Thank you to David Allan for putting the whole thing together, he did a masterful job.” See the full interview here.
“What an amazing horse he has been and we shall miss him but wish him the best of luck in his new career what a lucky chap and lucky to have had you guys as owners xxxx”
“Such a lovely story and so pleased your horses get a wonderful home, I have had my horses (Porter Paddy IRE) for over 20 years and he is nearly 29 and lives a life of luxury”
“All the best to Ice Lord in his new home. What a lucky horse to have had such caring owners as Hintlesham Racing and Allanbloodlines.”
“You have done a wonderful job keeping us all informed in detail of [COVID regulations] developments and what they meant for us as a syndicate. I was also interested to read your thoughtful analysis of the syndicate’s current position. Will be watching the race on TV.”
“David, thanks for an excellent column today, you are right in all respects, we need to promote our industry more effectively overseas.”

“Still can’t get over how you managed to get us all invited to the Royal Box on Saturday. Never thought I’d be watching the Cambridgeshire from the Queen’s seat”
“David sent me horses as soon as I came back from Hong Kong. Nearly all of them have won including several good multiple winners from the Allan Bloodlines’ selections. Having them acting as racing managers makes for very good communication and planning which helps a lot.”
“I always find your reports very interesting and informative, especially for a non-expert like me”
“He has found so many multiple winners and dams of winners at reasonable budgets”
“Many thanks for your commitment to the SA breeding and racing industry.”
“I always make time to read your emailed Newsletters – they are different!”
“Longstanding supporter of South African breeding and racing, David Allan bought the joint second top-priced mare at R360,000 – Lot 75, the Australian imported daughter of Danehill Dancer and a full-sister to Stakes winners Queen Mira and Umgiyo; the latter placed in the Gr.2 Dubai City of Gold Stakes for Mike de Kock”
“Allan Bloodlines’ approach to selecting horses is truly impressive. They combine an in-depth knowledge of pedigrees with a careful assessment of conformation to draw up a very short list of horses to be examined in the second phase. On top of this they use the Brain system to provide another view of a horse’s potential. Thanks to this system I and my partners have been fortunate in owning three successful horses – all multiple winners. Having accompanied the team on sales visits for all three horses (and having used them as racing managers subsequently) I am more than happy to recommend Allan Bloodlines to others who are looking to embark on the wonderful experience of owning a horse and want to feel that they are in good hands. Watching your horse win – when you have bought it as a yearling and followed its progress through training – has to be one of the best feelings in life.”
“David and Yoshi Allan have been training with me since I started. Together we won over forty races for themselves, their partners and clients as well as having a lot of fun along the way. Allan Bloodlines manages racehorses very smoothly making communication and planning easy and progressive and we have a well above average strike rate of winners – often multiple winners – with their selections”.
“Membership of Hintlesham Thoroughbreds afforded me twelve years of enjoyment and fun in the company of some very nice people. The club is very well run and members are constantly kept informed of the horses’ progress, well-being and future racing prospects. Race days are always a pleasure, whatever the outcome.”
“In 1996 when looking for a new experience I joined Hintlesham Thoroughbreds, then a new racing club set up by a very old friend David Allan. Through many years of membership, I still thoroughly enjoy everything the Club has to offer. Soon after joining I stepped up to what has subsequently turned out to be the extraordinary pleasure of owning (in partnership) several racehorses! With the extremely professional and invaluable help of Allan Bloodlines I have now enjoyed three multiple winning racehorses. I look forward to many more years of similar success friendship and fun with Allan Bloodlines and our horses.”
“Quality of Life can truly be enhanced through Allan Bloodlines partnerships”
“Receiving a trophy after winning was a highlight of a most enjoyable involvement in racing, a sport I knew little about before this excellent experience with Allan Bloodlines”
“Thank you for your huge input and encouragement to our industry”
“I have recently become aware of the good work you are doing for Zimbabwe racing and on behalf of the entire racing fraternity in Zim would like to convey our gratitude. We hold our friends dearly and appreciate the interest greatly.”
“I have enjoyed over ten years of exciting race-going as a member of Hintlesham Thoroughbreds. We are a group of friendly people who share all of the benefits of ownership – visiting stables, meeting trainers, with prize money share and excellent communications. All at modest cost. I highly recommend the experience.”
“I like how you are promoting our horses, it’s great for our country”
