SATURDAY, 12 OCTOBER 2019 BSW, CROW ON THE BOARD AT TATTS QUADRILATERAL GETS UP By Chris McGrath IN MILE THRILLER NEWMARKET, UK--On the one hand, their advent in Newmarket this week represented an entirely new venture in the diversifying portfolio of Bradley Weisbord and Liz Crow. On the other, both partners see a seamless efficiency between the things that have worked for BSW Bloodstock in the U.S., through Crow's domestic selection of young stock, and the novel challenge of the Tattersalls October Sale. Because Crow has made her name in their homeland, at an accessible level of the market, by focusing on physicals and treating pedigrees just as a guide to cost. To that extent, she even views a lack of familiarity with European bloodlines as a potential advantage. "To be totally honest, I don't know a lot of these stallions that well," she admits. "But I actually think that's really good, because I'm not biased. I'm just going in looking for a physical I really like, which is what I've done most of my career.
