Stallions

Our Breeding Philosophy

Our breeding philosophy for producing an Ohio stakes horse is: "breed the best to the best that one can afford". Obviously, our philosophy parallels just about everyone else’s in the Thoroughbred business. However, we differ to a degree, in that we like to move a step closer to success by breeding to blood stock that is proven: Proven stallions, to proven mares and / or deep black type families. Thus, when we decided to invest in stallions,  owned by HMD Racing Group: Huntertown, Mapleton, and  Duncan Farms. They had to be proven stallions that have produced graded and multiple stake winners. We feel we have accomplished that goal with Dominus and Creative Cause.
