About this episode
Jess Stafford interviews David Redvers and David Futter about stallion acquisitions and the future of British National Hunt breeding.
It's Episode 26! A new year brings fresh stallion momentum to two of the most influential and forward-thinking studs in Britain. In an exclusive interview, Jess speaks to David Redvers of Tweenhills Stud, who lifts the lid on the decision to add King Of Change to the roster. He explains the strategic thinking behind the acquisition, the partners involved, and how a near-miss stallion buy ultimately strengthened his belief in backing proven stallions. Continuing the theme of ambition and expansion, Jess catches up with David Futter of Yorton Stud, who discusses bringing Cracksman onto his roster. David outlines why Cracksman is perfectly suited to a dual-purpose role, the challenges that come with it, and the enthusiasm driving his growing team. The conversation also revisits David’s journey in sourcing the late Blue Bresil, the return of the Goffs Yorton Sale in 2025, and the optimism and opportunity he sees ahead for British National Hunt breeding in 2026.
