With ample learning opportunities, it's difficult to say at which stop Peter O'Callaghan picked up the expertise that has allowed him and his Woods Edge Farm to thrive. Likely, it has been an amalgam of lessons that has led to the 44-year-old Ireland native's becoming a top consignor, breeder, and savvy pinhooker.
With a Constitution colt producing a healthy return on his weanling purchase price and homebred yearlings that sold well Sept. 18, Peter O'Callaghan's Woods Edge Farm had a solid start to Book 3 of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
We know it as a tried-and-true consignment that has been making headlines at the Keeneland September Sale for over 20 years now. And we know its figurehead Peter O'Callaghan as one of the sharpest pinhookers in the game.
