The horses raised and trained at Hidden Brook Florida Breaking & Training are a continued source of pride for our partners and dedicated staff. We believe that a superior environment combined with an advanced level of management and care are the leading factors for raising quality equine athletes, broodmares, and sales horses.
This year 33 winners and 7 black type winners have graduated from our bucolic Florida facility, including Program Trading, a 3X Grade 1 winner over the past year after taking the Turf Classic (G1) on the Kentucky Derby undercard at Churchill Downs. Among the others are a pair of Saratoga Stakes winners in Courtly Banker, winner of the $125,000 Rick Violette Stakes, and Moonage Daydream, who is now a 3-time New York stakes winner after her victory in the October 27 Ticonderoga Stakes at Aqueduct.
They continue the momentum from 2023 when Hidden Brook Florida graduates numbered 37 winners and 17 black type horses, including the additional Grade 1 winner Arabian Lion. A $600,000 Justify colt, Arabian Lion was sold by Hidden Brook Farm at the 2022 OBS April sale to Zedan Racing and was named a “TDN Rising Star” for his impressive debut victory. He went on to earn a 109 Beyer Speed Figure for his sensational performance in the Grade 1 Woody Stephens on Belmont Stakes Day. He’s now a popular young stallion in Kentucky.
Over the previous three seasons, an average of 43 winners and 15 black type horses emerged from Hidden Brook Florida, including Breeders’ Cup & Eclipse Champion Jaywalk, Grade 2 winner & Grade 1-placed Nay Lady Nay (Ire) and the Grade 3-winning juvenile Sail By.
Nay Lady Nay also raced in the colors of the Hidden Brook Racing Partnership.
