Denali Stud Location: Paris, Ky.Owners: Craig and Holly BandoroffWebsite: denalistud.com

Background: Craig and Holly Bandoroff’s Denali Stud near Paris, Ky., is one of the Thorough-bred industry’s leading bloodstock consignors.

Craig Bandoroff was a jockey in New Jersey in the early 1970s until a spill at Garden State Park in 1974 left him without the use of his right arm, forcing him to explore other career paths within the industry. The Ban-doroffs each gained experience working in various bloodstock and sales capacities, and in 1990 they opened Denali Stud. “Denali” is derived from the name given by the Eskimos to Mt. McKinley and means “the great one.”

In the late 1990s, Bob Lewis and his wife, Beverly, sent their champion racemare Serena’s Song to Denali when she was re-tired. Denali has sold several of Serena Song’s offspring, including Group 1 winner Sophisticat, by Storm Cat, for $3.4 million at the 2000 Keeneland July Selected Yearling Sale; Grade 2 winner Harlington, by Un-bridled, for $2.8 million at the 2003 Keene-land September Yearling Sale; and Colourful Score, a colt by Storm Cat, for $3.5 million, at the 2005 September Sale.

Denali’s high seller at the 2014 Keene-land January Horses of All Ages Sale was Phonybooksnrecords. Thomas Clark Blood-stock, agent, paid $190,000 for the 4-year-old daughter of leading sire Tapit.

Background: Eaton Sales Inc. is owned by Reiley McDonald, who purchased the sales agency from its founder, the late Lee Eaton, in the 1990s.

A Maryland native, McDonald holds a de-gree in animal sciences from Cornell University and worked at vari-ous Maryland racetracks as an exercise rider and assistant trainer. He was an officer of Fasig-Tipton Company Inc. prior to buying Eaton Sales.

Eaton Sales served as agent for the dis-persal of the W.T. Young family’s Overbrook Farm, which in 2009-2010 sold 205 horses for $38,606,000. At the time, the dispersal was the second largest in Keeneland sales history. It is now third behind the Edward P. Evans Spring Hill Farm dispersal, which sold 221 horses for $62,364,000 million in 2011-2012, and the Nelson Bunker Hunt disper-sal, which sold 580 horses for $46,912,800 in 1988.

An attorney, he previously worked as counsel and bloodstock adviser at Wal-mac Farm, which Jones developed into an international stallion station with such lead-ing sires as Nureyev, Miswaki and Alleged.

In 2005, Jones sold Walmac to his son, John T.L. Jones III, and Robert Trussell and remains as Director Emeritus.

Kenny honed his bloodstock skills in Canada and California before moving to Kentucky in 1993. He purchased future Broodmare of the Year In Neon for John Franks and bought the dams of champions Chilukki and Phantom Light prior to their stakes-producing success.

Greathouse, who died Oct. 8, 2013, was a prominent horseman who helped run his family’s Glencrest Farm near Midway, Ky.

At the 2014 Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale, Four Star Sales was agent for the estate of David Greathouse.

Gainesway Location: LexingtonPresident: Antony BeckGeneral Manager: Neil HowardDirector of Sales: Michael HernonWebsite: gainesway.com

Background: Locat-ed on Paris Pike near Lexington, Gainesway is a 1,500-acre, full-service Thoroughbred farm that is home to seven stallions led by record-breaking sire Tapit.

Gainesway was founded by John R. Gaines, who was famous for his innovations in the Thoroughbred in-dustry, including the concept that became the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. In 1989, Graham J. Beck, a successful business-man, wine maker, and Thoroughbred horse-man in his native South Africa, purchased the farm from Gaines.

Beck died in July 2010. Today, his son, Antony, oversees farm operations as presi-dent. The younger Beck’s involvement in the industry includes serving on the board of di-rectors of Breeders’ Cup Ltd.

Gainesway includes two historic opera-tions, Greentree Stud and the C.V. Whitney farm. Beck and his wife, Angela, have nur-tured Gainesway into a facility known for more than Thoroughbreds. An emphasis on trees and spectacular gardens helped the farm earn official status as an arboretum from the American Public Garden Associa-tion.

At the 2014 Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale Gainesway’s high seller was a $225,000 Malibu Moon colt. The yearling was purchased by Maverick Racing.

Background: Since 2012, successful busi-nessman Brad Kelley has overseen Calumet Farm, one of the most famous horse farms in North America and Keeneland’s neighbor. In May 2013, Nicole Russo of Daily Racing Form described Calumet’s notable history:

“Calumet has lived through a number of transformations, morphing from a Stan-dardbred facility into an elite Thoroughbred nursery as it passed through the Wright family, campaigning two homebred Triple Crown winners, and, decades later, surviving an episode of bankruptcy. Today, the farm is in the hands of Kelley, a deeply private bil-lionaire with a passion for racing.”

Glen Hill FarmLocation: Ocala, Fla.Owner: Leonard H. LavinPresident: Craig Bernick

Background: Leonard H. Lavin, who turned 94 in October 2014, has enjoyed a long and successful involvement in Thoroughbred racing while reaching the heights of the business world.

After serving in World War II, Lavin ac-quired a small regional maker of beauty supplies in his native Chicago in 1955 and parlayed it into the Alberto-Culver Co. The international Fortune 1000 company, which produces and markets well-known consum-er brands in the toiletry, household and food fields, includes Sally Beauty Co., the world’s largest distributor of professional beauty products.

In 1966, Lavin purchased the former Greentree Stud property near Ocala, Fla., and established Glen Hill Farm. One of Glen Hill’s most successful runners was Relaunch, a multiple Grade 3 winner who became a successful sire. Among Relaunch’s noted off-spring is Glen Hill homebred One Dreamer, who won the 1994 Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1).

One Dreamer was trained by Tom Proc-tor, whose brother, Hap, manages Glen Hill. The Proctors’ father, Willard, began train-ing the Glen Hill horses in the 1960s. For Glen Hill, Tom Proctor trained Grade 1 win-ner Marketing Mix, a daughter of Medaglia d’Oro who earned $2,015,893.

Shadai FarmLocation: Hokkaido, JapanOwner: Teruya “Terry” YoshidaWebsite: shadaifarm.jp/english/Background: Three Yoshida brothers of Japan oversee several of the world’s most famous Thoroughbred operations and are important patrons of Keeneland sales. The oldest brother, Teruya “Terry” Yoshida, has Shadai Farm. Katsumi Yoshida has Northern Farm. Haruya Yoshida, the youngest, has Oiwake Farm. Together they operate Shadai Stallion Station in the name of Shadai Corp.

Shadai Stallion Station stood Sunday Si-lence, winner of the 1989 Kentucky Derby (G1), Preakness (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1). The farm now is home to some 30 stallions.

A two-time Horse of the Year in Japan, Deep Impact is the sire of 2014 Dubai Sheema Classic Presented by Longines (G1) winner Gentildonna.

The Yoshidas’ grandfather Zenuske Yo-shida was one of the first Japanese to import Thoroughbreds from the U.S. on a major scale. He died in 1946, leaving the family business to his son Zenya Yoshida. When Teruya Yoshida graduated in economics from Keoi University in 1969, his father sent him to Kentucky to manage Fontainebleau Farm, then the American branch of Shadai. He spent five years at Fontainebleau, during which time he spent $100,000 for Northern Taste, a son of Northern Dancer who won the 1974 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp. Northern Taste was the champion stallion in Japan for 11 consecutive years.

Among Shadai’s purchases at Keeneland is Grade 1 winner Ave (GB), who topped the 2011 January Horses of All Ages Sale when she brought $1.4 million. Shadai was that sale’s leading buyer with three horses pur-chased for $2.28 million.

Katsumi YoshidaFarm: Northern FarmLocation: Hokkaido, JapanWebsite: northernfarm.jp/english/

Background: Following the death of his father, noted Japanese horseman Zenya Yo-shida, in December 1993, Katsumi Yoshida founded Northern Farm on a portion of land his father owned. Located on the island of Hokkaido in Japan, Northern is home to a number of broodmares that were extremely

successful in the U.S. Among them is Horse of the Year Azeri, whom Yoshida purchased in foal to Distorted Humor for $2.25 million at the 2009 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.

Yoshida’s additional recent acquisitions at the November Sale include Grade 1 win-ner Diamondrella (GB), purchased in foal to Distorted Humor for $1.5 million in 2013; Grade 1 winner Zazu, purchased for $2.1 million in 2012; Grade 1 winner Ticker Tape (GB), purchased in foal to Giant’s Causeway for $950,000 in 2011; and Grade 1 producer Fit Right In, purchased in foal to Curlin for $1.05 million in 2010.

At the Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale, Yoshida has made several signifi-cant purchases. They include Topliner, who was sold in foal to Medaglia d’Oro for $1.4 million and was the highest-priced horse of-fered at the 2012 sale. In 2009, Yoshida paid the sale-topping price of $950,000 for Grade 1 winner Island Fashion, in foal to Ghost-zapper.

Katsumi Yoshida’s son Shunsuke is heav-ily involved in the operation of Northern Farm and has purchased several mares at Keeneland on behalf of his father.

Katsumi Yoshida is the brother of Teruya “Terry” Yoshida of Shadai Farm and Haruya Yoshida of Oiwake Farm. (The latter pur-chased three mares for a total of $650,000 at the January Sale in 2014. Among them was Grade 1 winner Unbridled Belle, in foal to Bernardini, for $400,000.) Together the brothers operate Shadai Stallion Station in the name of Shadai Corp. Shadai Stallion Station stood Sunday Silence, winner of the 1989 Kentucky Derby (G1), Preakness (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) and Japan’s leading stallion for 13 years.

Shadai Stallion Station is home to some 30 stallions, including 2002 Kentucky Derby winner War Emblem and Sunday Silence’s son Deep Impact. Katsumi Yoshida bred Deep Impact, a two-time Horse of the Year in Japan and a leading sire in that country.

Northern Farm bred 2014 Japan Cup (G1) winner Epiphaneia. The farm also bred the colt’s dam, Cesario (JPN), winner of the 2007 American Oaks Invitational (G1) at Hollywood Park. U. Carrot Farm raced both horses.
