THE PUMA proved to be one of the best in an absolutely stacked Breeders’ Cup Classic field!

The Puma was bred in part by longtime Hagyard client, Hidden Brook Farm, which is also home to our own Dr. Karen Wolfsdorf!

Successfully breeding, raising, and training a racehorse is a feat in and of itself, but to reach the top level of the sport with one puts you in an elite group.

Cheers to the connections of The Puma - you’ve got a star on your hands!

A storybook ending to a historical campaign for Sovereignty and his connections.
 
It’s been an honor to work with Sovereignty and the Godolphin team, and it just means more to see them come out on top once again, with the world watching.
 
Congratulations to all and thank you for trusting Hagyard with your truly exemplary champion.

Massive congratulations to the connections of the newly crowned Breeders' Cup Juvenile champion, HUGHES!

Hughes was bred by our own Dr. Rhonda Rathgeber & Garrett O’Rourke of Breffni Farm and we are so thrilled to see this dream come true for them! Breeding a horse of this caliber is a huge accomplishment and certainly something to celebrate.

Hughes is now on the trail to the Kentucky Derby and we can’t wait to see what he does next!

In September, our own Dr. Wolfsdorf was invited to go to Morocco as a representative of International Society for Equine Repro in conjunction with the Moroccan Equine Veterinary Association to aid in global equine reproduction education.
 
The conference comprised one day of wet labs, with a wide variety of topics such as endometrial cytology, biopsy, and obstetrics.
 
Then, two days of lectures with topics like diagnosis and treatment of chronic endometritis, placentitis: diagnosis and treatment, preparation, examination, and management of the newborn foal.

Congratulations on this opportunity to showcase your enduring passion and enthusiasm!

Will we see a three-peat? 🏆🏆🏆

Hit Show, the 2025 Dubai World Cup winner and a career earner of more than $9.5 million, will try to win the Hagyard Fayette Stakes for the third year in a row Oct. 24 at Keeneland.
