ADENA SPRINGS HISTORICALLY, ITS FOCUS HAS BEEN ON BREEDING CHAMPION RACEHORSES; THE WORLD-CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE IS MULTI-FACETED, VERSATILE AND COULD BE EASILY CONVERTED TO ANY EQUESTRIAN DISCIPLINE, BE IT SHOW JUMPING, EVENTING, DRESSAGE OR ANY BREED SHOW PLACE. IT COULD EVEN BE A HORSE PARK OR CO-OP OPERATION WITH CENTRAL FACILITIES.
āSince 2005, when the Stronach Group opened this state-of-the-art breeding and training facility, Adena Springs has left an indelible imprint on the Thoroughbred industry,ā said Bernie Uechtritz, brokerowner of Icon Global, the international real estate brokerage that is offering the property. āThe farm has produced and stood some of the greatest horses in modern history, including Awesome Again, Ghostzapper, Macho Uno, El Prado and Mucho Macho Man. It, at 2,300Ā± acres, is one of the two largest farms under one fence in the rolling heart of the Bluegrass Country, located near Paris, Kentucky, just 20 minutes northeast of Lexington. In Bourbon County, founded at the dawn of America, the thrum of hooves is the regionās pulse. The climate, the geology and the generational know-how provide a competitive advantage unsurpassed anywhere on the planet. Notably, any number of Kentucky Derby and stakes winners were produced within a 15-mile radius of the farm; Medaglia dāOro was born right next door, Uechtritz said. Adena Springs has earned the prestigious Eclipse Award for Outstanding Breeder eight times since its founding. āIt is only fitting that Adena Springs Farm is a particularly rare jewel in Thoroughbred racing where a Triple Crown represents the pinnacle of achievement,ā Uechtritz said. āThe fact that FASIG-TIPTON for the first time ever allowed this historic sale to be announced at its illustrious Night of the Stars Sale in November speaks to the farmās significance and stature.ā
