Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleWorldwide anticipation is building to fever pitch for the 139th running of this year’s Kentucky Derby on May 4th. Ladies hats are pushing into the $500 range, tickets are quickly being sold and bets are being made while Martina McBride is practicing for her rendition of the National Anthem. The excitement is not just for breeders but for all horse lovers who run the gamut from purveyors of horse gear and supplies to the average man on the street to the 15-year-old whose dreams have come true over owning her very first horse. It’s contagious. There just aren’t many things more beautiful than watching a thousand-pound horse sprinting on tiny hooves and even tinier ankles with mane and tail flowing in the breeze. Yes, this marvel of nature has us hooked!
Vinery Farm, one of the finest horse breeding farms in the world, is now on the market. Since 2003, Vinery has invested nearly $18 million in racehorses. Seventy six percent have become winners and 25 percent of them stakes horses. Vinery Farm’s Laurie’s Rocket and Flashpoint finished 1-2 in the $75,000 Hot Springs Stakes at Oaklawn Park in April.
Awash in deep emerald bluegrass with what seems like miles of sensibly attractive dark stained equestrian fencing, the ancient oaks and maples create large sweeps of shade where needed and accent the white buildings. Vinery Farm is located in Lexington, Kentucky, known as "Thoroughbred City" and the "Horse Capital of the World", and is located in the center of Kentucky’s Bluegrass region. Though bluegrass itself is not blue, it got its name from the blue seed heads that form when the grass is allowed to grow to its full height of two to three feet.
Getting down to the business of thoroughbred management, the farm has over 400 acres, 10 barns divided between stallions, yearlings and broodmares, a separate stallion entrance, nine working outbuildings and six homes, including the picture perfect main house with its ten two-story white front columns. Since the name, Vinery, does not convey, now is the time to start thinking of your own farm name as a new breeder, or transferring your established farm name to the new facility.
So don the perfect hat, start muddling the mint and don’t forget to concentrate on the Derby while your mind is secretly on this ultimate Kentucky horse farm! Vinery Farm priced at $13.97 million.
