Training
Experience it our way. Enjoy racing at the premier venues in America. We stable year round at Keeneland Racecourse and often winter at Oaklawn Park. As our client, you are always welcome in the barn. Stop by in the morning to watch your horse train or visit in the afternoon with peppermints. We will help you actualize your dreams of winning races and participating in the great thoroughbred lifestyle.
Phil's hands on approach sets him apart from other trainers. Rather than trying to juggle a 'mega-stable' split between numerous backsides, he keeps his string to a size manageable enough to know the fine points of each and every horse. Phil or Matt watch every horse train in the mornings, and feed each morning and afternoon to ensure our trainees' well-being. With us, you can rest assured that your thoroughbreds are getting the utmost care. A well looked after horse translates directly into success at the races.

Auction Representation
Our team actively attends most major sales throughout the season. We will help with your purchase of yearlings, two-year-olds, horses of racing age, and broodmares. The combined experience of Phil, Matt, and Blake provide a deep understanding of the marketplace and the thoroughbred athlete itself.
Like most training operations, we are the most active during the yearling sale season in search for our next big winners. Our approach is focused on purchasing sound athletes that will be able to withstand training and hopefully win when they're three, four, five, six, and beyond! With extensive knowledge of pedigrees and confirmation from a trainer's perspective, we know what works well, and what doesn't, more than most.
Recent standouts that were selected as yearlings at auction include:
