Welcome

B2B Thoroughbreds is a boutique thoroughbred breeding and racing operation led by a dedicated father-and-son team, Ricky Surace and Ricky Surace Jr.

With a strong focus on pedigree, performance, and long-term quality, B2B Thoroughbreds takes a highly selective approach to breeding and ownership. Each mating decision is carefully considered, drawing on proven bloodlines and generational pedigree patterns to maximise the potential of every horse.

All stock is managed and raised in partnership with leading Australian nurseries, including Segenhoe Stud, ensuring the highest standards of care, development, and presentation. This collaborative model allows B2B Thoroughbreds to remain agile and focused, while maintaining uncompromising quality.

Hands-on, detail-driven, and deeply invested at every stage, Ricky and Ricky Jr work closely across all aspects of the operation — from breeding and sales strategy through to racing and ownership management — with the aim of producing elite racehorses and commercial yearlings for Australia’s premier sales.

Born from Passion.
Shaped by Performance.

B2B Thoroughbreds was established from a genuine passion for racing and an early introduction to the highest levels of the sport.

Ricky Surace’s first experience as a racehorse owner came with Star Witness, whose success on the track — including multiple Group 1 victories and a memorable campaign at Royal Ascot — provided an immediate and lasting connection to elite thoroughbred racing.

That formative experience set the benchmark. It shaped a long-term approach built on discipline, patience, and respect for proven bloodlines — principles that continue to underpin B2B Thoroughbreds today.

Driven by performance rather than scale, the operation remains intentionally selective. Every breeding decision is made with purpose, with a focus on pedigree strength, commercial appeal, and the attributes required to compete at the highest level. Each horse represents not just potential, but a carefully considered step in a long-term vision — one centred on producing quality racehorses capable of carrying the B2B name with distinction for years to come.

Horse Welfare & Care

At B2B Thoroughbreds, the welfare of our horses is paramount.

While B2B Thoroughbreds does not operate a training or breeding farm, all horses are managed in partnership with leading Australian professionals, including Segenhoe Stud, licensed trainers, veterinarians, and experienced horse care specialists.

We work exclusively with trusted industry partners who uphold the highest standards of animal welfare, biosecurity, and horsemanship. Our role is to provide informed oversight and long-term stewardship, ensuring each horse is placed in an environment best suited to its stage of development, wellbeing, and performance.

From breeding and preparation through to training and racing, welfare considerations inform every decision we make. This collaborative approach ensures our horses receive professional care, individual attention, and the support required to reach their full potential.

Ownership & Philosophy

B2B Thoroughbreds is built on a long-term, disciplined approach to thoroughbred ownership and breeding.

The operation is intentionally selective, focusing on quality rather than scale. Every horse is chosen with purpose — guided by pedigree strength, physical assessment, commercial considerations, and suitability for Australian racing conditions. Decisions are made conservatively, with an emphasis on longevity, soundness, and performance.

Horses are placed with leading industry professionals, including respected studs, trainers, and veterinarians, selected for their expertise, integrity, and proven results. B2B Thoroughbreds remains closely involved at every stage, working collaboratively with these partners while maintaining oversight and accountability.

Above all, the philosophy is simple: thoughtful decisions, trusted partnerships, and patience. Success in thoroughbred racing is rarely rushed — and B2B Thoroughbreds is committed to building outcomes that stand the test of time.
