WORKOUTS:
Newly minted sophomore Nearly delivered an ultra-impressive effort as our first runner of 2026! The talented colt withstood a hard bump out of the gate, maintained his composure, and poured it on down the stretch. His five-length victory earned a gaudy 96 Beyer speed figure and gave every indication to target bigger goals next time out. Dr. Carr and Paula Parsons picked out a seriously nice colt, Paula and her team in Middleburg prepared him with aplomb, and the Pletcher barn (including groom Jose and rider Humberto) has done a tremendous job. He’s got a phenomenal group of partners and we couldn’t be happier for them. The Thoroughbred Daily News has more here.
Nearly will be back in the mornings soon after his second win on January 2 at Gulfstream Park. He is training at Palm Beach Downs in Florida.

Florida-bred Nearly made the most of his return to his home state! The exciting juvenile catapulted from a green New York debut to an impressive winner as our first starter of the season at Gulfstream Park. A tremendous amount of credit goes to the Pletcher barn, including riders Adele and Hector and groom Jose, for the transformation and to his patient partners who let him figure it out on his own timeline. The great John Velazquez knows him well and rode him to perfection. Like all of our horses, he was selected by Dr. Carr and Paula Parsons, and came up through Paula’s program at our farm in Middleburg. We can’t wait to see what he does next!
Antiquarian tipped his total career earnings over a million dollars in his last start in the Breeders’ Cup Classic. We’ll see our handsome guy back in 2026.

Icemaker will be back in the mornings soon after his debut on October 3.

The Keeneland September Sale poses a unique challenge for those seeking stars – it is the largest sale of its kind, with hundreds of promising prospects to look at. Our acquisition team, led for years by Paula Parsons and Dr. Carr, continues to rise to the occasion. They selected four colts at the same sale where they’ve found stars like Wicked Strong, Preservationist, Rocketry, and Antiquarian. Each of the new individuals come from terrific female families and represent elite sires whose offspring have yet to carry the red and tan of Centennial Farms – national leaders Constitution and Twirling Candy, top 3 freshman Maxfield, and young, multiple G1 winner Jack Christopher. Learn more about them here and contact us to discuss how you can be part of their team.
