all in The Life

Two weeks ago, I walked around the yard of Zabeel Stables in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, following trainer Satish Seemar and the group of my fellow Godolphin Flying Start trainees. We are beneficiaries of a two-year international leadership and management program in the Thoroughbred industry.

Coolmore Stud is arguably one of the two most important international Thoroughbred owner/breeder entities in the sport over the past half-century, along with Darley Stud. The multifaceted business originated in Ireland during the mid-1970s and through the years has exerted influence in every major racing jurisdiction to one degree or another while also revolutionizing the breeding and sales sectors of the industry.

Hermitage Farm became an important Thoroughbred stud farm nearly 100 years ago, its name associated with a long list accomplished racehorses and high-priced yearlings. Today, it still has a prominent place in the horse industry, and has become successful in other areas as well.

Old Smoke Clothing Co. is a clothing and lifestyle brand with a focus on the sport of horse racing. Founded in 2018 by lifelong racing enthusiasts from Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Old Smoke prides itself on providing fresh designs that celebrate the fascinating history of the sport of kings while embracing the passion and lifestyle of today’s racing community.

When I first started working at Santa Anita Park, I discovered a whole new meaning to Christmas for Southern California horseplayers. Dec. 25 meant that the next day venerable Santa Anita was opening for its new racing season.
