Calumet Farm - Calumet Farm has a
record history of Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown winners and continues
to be unmatched worldwide. Claiborne Farm - The world-renowned
Kentucky Thoroughbred farm, Claiborne, has origins in Virginia. There
Civil War veteran Capt. Richard Hancock raised Thoroughbreds on the
Ellerslie Farm of his wife's family. The move to Kentucky came with the
next generation when Capt. Hancock's son Arthur B. Hancock established a
second farm on the property of his own bride and named it Claiborne. The
Kentucky farm gradually eclipsed the Virginia property, and Arthur
Hancock launched an operation which strongly influenced the path of
American breeding in the first half of the 20th Century. Gainesway - In
1989, Graham Beck purchased Gainesway from industry leader John Gaines.
Mr. Beck has enjoyed great success breeding and buying Thoroughbreds and
is a perennial leading owner/buyer in his native South Africa. Graham
and his son Antony are dedicated to carrying on Gainesway’s reputation
as a major force in breeding and racing internationally. A powerful
history of champions and stakes horses being born, raised, sold and
raced. The power of the pedigrees we stable has undeniable quality and

Confederacy. Bosque Bonita was later owned by leading horseman John H.
Morris. MANNIE GRAY, the dam of the great DOMINO, was raised at Bosque
Bonita and LEAMINGTON, sire of the first Kentucky Derby winner
ARISTIDES, stood at stud there. In 1875, the year before the Battle of
the Big Horn, General George Custer came to Bosque Bonita to buy calvary
