Why Buy Now?

Buying real estate has never been more affordable than right now.  Let’s face it - you can get a lot of bang for your buck.  Investing in land has proven results as being a rock solid investment over the years.  With interest rates at record lows and land prices at attractive levels, now is the time and here is the place!!!

 Why Kentucky ?

Not only is Kentucky the horse capital of the world, it is also centrally located - making it an ideal hub to train, then race at multiple facilities!  We are located less than a days drive from most of mid – America and located centrally within the majority of the U.S. population.  We are located approximately 90 miles South of Lexington, KY and only 100 miles South of Louisville, KY, and only 120 miles North of Nashville, TN.

Did You Know – About the Kentucky Incentive Fund?

Your Kentucky Horse could earn extra $$$ through the Kentucky Incentive Fund.

The Kentucky Breeders' Incentive Fund was implemented in 2005 to ensure the strength and growth of the horse industry in Kentucky . 

The Incentive Fund is divided 80 percent to the Kentucky Thoroughbred Breeders' Incentive Fund (KBIF), 13 percent to the Kentucky Standardbred Breeders' Incentive Fund, which funds the Kentucky Sire Stakes (KYSS) and 7 percent to the Kentucky Horse Breeders' Incentive Fund (KHBIF).

The development funds, Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund (KTDF) and the Kentucky Standardbred Development Fund (KSDF), were established to promote, enhance, improve, and encourage breeding in Kentucky by providing supplemental purses for designated races.

Who is eligible for the Incentive Fund?

Breeders who have bred their mare to a KTDF registered Kentucky stallion and board their mare in Kentucky from live cover until the foaling. We rely on the records of the Jockey Club to determine the breeder of record.

What races qualify breeders for incentives?

Kentucky First Component – An incentive will be granted to the breeders of the winners of all maiden special weight, allowance and stakes races in Kentucky . The bonus will be equal to 25 percent of the winning purse, excluding supplemental funds, and the maximum bonus to the breeder will be $10,000 per race. There is no age limitation for the horses.

National Component – An incentive will be granted to breeders of the winners of maiden special weight and allowance races held in other states for 2‐, 3‐ and 4‐year old thoroughbreds. The bonus will be equal to 10 percent of the winning purse, excluding supplemental funds, with a maximum bonus of $10,000 per race.

Kentucky Grade I Stakes Component – An incentive will be awarded to the breeders of the winners of all Grade I Stakes run within Kentucky . The incentive will be $100,000 each to the breeder of the Kentucky‐bred winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks. An incentive of $25,000 will be awarded to the breeder of all other Kentucky‐bred winners of Grade I stakes run within Kentucky .

National Grade I Stakes Component – An incentive will be awarded to the breeders of the winner of each Kentucky‐bred Grade I Stakes races held in other states. The award shall be $2,500 for each breeder. The incentive will reward breeders who produce quality Kentucky‐bred winners of top races throughout the country.

Kentucky Claiming Title Component – An incentive will be awarded to the breeders of Kentucky ’s best claiming horses. The incentive will be composed of four racetrack title awards and an annual Kentucky title award. Churchill Downs, Ellis Park, Keeneland and Turfway will each have an incentive awarded to the breeder of the horse that has the highest claiming earnings at that track during the year. The annual Kentucky Claiming Title incentive will be divided among the breeders of the top three horses that have the highest cumulative

claiming earnings at all Kentucky tracks throughout the year. It is anticipated the total amount to be awarded under this component is $200,000.

Breeders’ Cup World Championship races are excluded.
