Marette Farrell's business name, Exhale Enterprises, is a boutique style international bloodstock operation, set up in September 2007. Exhale, was named after a horse, which she selected and pinhooked successfully, ($100,000 yearling to $800,000 two year old), in a partnership with Nicoma Bloodstock.
"The many years of exercise-riding top class thoroughbreds, checking horse's legs, listening to the jockeys, working all the major sales and observing the habits of good horses in Europe, Australia and the USA, help's my decision making skills when identifying prospects for purchase as well as advising someone's program. I didn't sit behind a desk all the time. I learned my craft from the bottom up".
This combined with formative time spent with Tim McMurry, Nicoma Bloodstock as well as Racing and Bloodstock Manager to top Australian racehorse trainer Gai Waterhouse, helps give her a broader perspective on bloodstock in general. Therefore, recommending horses like 2009 G1 Gamely winner Magical Fantasy, multiple group winner The Pamplemousse and G1 Racing Post Trophy winner, Palace Episode as well as ownership in current G2 horses Dr. Zic and Mint Lane, are key indicators of the success of her eye and knowing what it takes to identify a good horse. The fun is sharing this excitement with others and working towards developing someone's racing and breeding operation for optimum investment and results.

Congratulations to Roy and Gretchen Jackson on their Distorted Humor filly Excuse Me who won her maiden race convincingly by 11 lengths on the turf, breaking the course record in the process.

Congrats to Boris Schwartzman of Haras Bartlovento in Peru on the purchase of barren broodmare Dubai Visit by Quiet American, who is now the dam of impressive first time starter Mehndi , a two year old filly by Pulpit, at Belmont Park for trainer William Phipps.
