Anthony Gafa tackles a key question. What matters more, being a great trainer or a great networker?

The answer is both, but without a strong network, growth has a ceiling. Results alone are not enough to attract better horses or new owners.

Anthony breaks down why building and expanding your network is critical, how to create real opportunities, and the simple daily habits that can change the trajectory of your business.

In this episode of Unfiltered with Gafa, Anthony Gafa breaks down one of the biggest decisions in racing and breeding — should you buy or lease a horse property?

From stability and equity to cash flow and flexibility, Anthony explores the real pros and cons of both sides. Buying offers control and long-term upside, but comes with significant upfront costs and ongoing responsibilities. Leasing, on the other hand, provides flexibility and lower entry costs, but limits control and long-term gain.

This episode dives into negotiation, risk, tax considerations and how each option impacts your ability to grow within the industry. Whether you’re a trainer, breeder or investor, the right decision comes down to your goals, your cash flow and your strategy.

If you’re serious about building within the racing industry, this is a conversation you can’t afford to ignore.

From using your business as leverage to investing in property and other assets, this episode is about turning hard-earned success into long-term financial security.

Do what you love, but make your money work just as hard as you do.

In the first episode of Unfiltered with Gafa, Anthony Gafa explores a question that helped spark the creation of this podcast.

Are traditional horse auctions still the best way to sell racehorses?

For decades, the industry has followed the same model. As technology, marketing and buyer behaviour evolve, it is worth asking whether there is a better approach.
Anthony shares the thinking behind new methods of bloodstock sales, the resistance innovation often faces, and why questioning established systems is often the starting point for progress.
