Owner Bio

Over the years, in conjunction with Crestfield Farm which is owned by my father and managed by myself, we have bred, raised, and sold over 100 stakes horses.  The most notable being: Meadow Star, Action This Day, Polish Patriot, Prince of Birds, Meadowlake, Dollar Bill, Rahystrada, Fit To Fight, and Northsider.  We were also fortunate enough to have Brood Mare of the Year, Hasty Queen II.

I am a past president of the Thoroughbred Farm Manager's Club and a former trustee of TOBA.  I have also served as a director of the Thoroughbred Club of America.

I own and operate Stonebridge Farm in Lexington, KY.
