About

Roderick Wachman is a lifelong horseman, born in Ireland.  His early experience began with yearling sale preparations in both the U.S. and U.K. After college he gained experience at Cheveley Park Stud in Newmarket, Waikato Stud in New Zealand, and a year in Australia split between trainer Bill Mitchell at Randwick in Sydney and Yarraman Park Stud in the Hunter Valley. He arrived in Kentucky in 1994, working at Brookdale Farm and Bluegrass Thoroughbred Services.

Roderick was the owner of Kingswood Farm LLC in Lexington, Kentucky from 2001-2014, specializing in boarding, breeding and raising thoroughbreds. Horses raised include Graded Stakes homebreds and client horses like G1 Arlington Million winner HARDEST CORE, and many others.

In 2014, Roderick launched his bloodstock services business, taking advantage of global investment opportunities. He’s enjoyed great success in sourcing European racing and breeding stock for import to the United States.  His extensive international experience and contacts quickly set him apart from many other agents.

Roderick Wachman’s success finding value broodmares is well documented, with NINE producers of Graded Winners purchased at an average cost of $45,000 and THIRTEEN producers of Graded Black type earners purchased at an average cost of $40,000!
