Price Bell Jr., a native of Lexington, grew up working for his family's Mill Ridge Farm under the tutelage of men and women who have been an integral part of the Mill Ridge operation for generations. Following college at Vanderbilt University, Price moved to Charlotte, NC to work in commercial real estate and development. This early career took him to Nashville, TN where he became involved in Nashville's blossoming downtown community revitalization. Always promoting and passionate about Thoroughbreds and Central Kentucky, upon completing his MBA from Vanderbilt’s Owen School in 2010, Price jumped at the opportunity to return to Lexington and work with his father, Headley, at Nicoma Bloodstock - the consulting arm of Mill Ridge Farm. With conviction for the sport and believing in the great opportunity to develop the industry’s fan base, Price became actively involved with the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association (KTA) along with many other industry initiatives. Price is passionate about introducing people to the horse and celebrating the amazing animal that is the Thoroughbred.
