"I've worked with Jamie McCalmont for more than 20 years and I consider him one of the very best 'judges' in the horse business. Whether it's on the racetrack or in the breeding and sales sector of the game, Jamie knows it backwards and forwards, and he's a very quick wit, and good company, besides."
