Today, the two-hundred-plus-acre farm in Georgetown has more than 160 retired Thoroughbred stallions, geldings and mares, including two Kentucky Derbywinners. It even welcomed two satellite farms, one in New York and one at Kentucky Downsracetrack.In his follow-up to History of Old Friends, Rick Capone revisits the unforgettable history of this horse retirement home.
