If you are looking to alternative investments rather than the stock markets then you may like to consider pin-hooking.

David has enjoyed considerable success with his pin-hooking ventures, purchasing foals and selling them as yearlings in Britain and Ireland.  Again, his expert eye for a horse has been key to the success of this high risk venture.  The pin-hooking syndicates are run in partnership with Peter Molony of Rathmore Stud.

Notable horses to have made a profit for the syndicates include:

b.c Shirocco/Glorious

b.c. One Cool Cat/Catch The Moon

Multiple Stakes winner Tax Free was also purchased by the syndicate as a foal for only €16,000.  Now with seven Stakes wins to his form including three Gr.3 races he is an excellent example of how successful our pin-hooks have also been on the racecourse. 2006 Epsom Oaks second and Gr.2 Park Hill winner, Rising Cross, was also purchased as a foal by the Tweenhills/Rathmore Pin-hooking Syndicate for just 10,500gns. In addition, Dark Islander, a 24,000gns foal purchase, won the Gr.2 Oak Tree Derby at Santa Anita.
