2025 Graystone, LLC formed at Keeneland

By centennial | Graystone, Latest News

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.

Antiquarian stamps ticket to the Breeders’ Cup Classic!

By centennial | Antiquarian, Latest News

What a horse, what a race! We’re so glad that Irad Ortiz, Jr. and Mindframe are ok and are beyond proud of Antiquarian for continuing to step up and improve every time he gets out there. There is a tremendous group of patient partners behind this horse, some of whom were part of his sire, Preservationist, as well, and it couldn’t be more gratifying to get to watch them celebrate a victory in what is truly one of the most important and historic races in the country. Our heartfelt thanks to them, Paula Parsons and her staff in Middleburg, including foreman Juan and riders Aoife and Alexis, Dr. Carr, Todd Pletcher and his team, including groom Juan Jose, exercise rider Edy, hotwalker Ernesto, and so many others. This victory came six years to the day that Preservationist won the G1 Woodward at Saratoga – a truly full-circle moment that leaves us speechless. Well done, Baby P!

Life Is Good colt joins roster

By centennial | Bloomfield, Latest News

The Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale is an annual highlight for partners and a source of pride for the acquisition team, who has found stars like Rubiano, Colonial Affair, Corinthian, and Unified there. The 104th edition proved no exception. Blockbuster trading across the two sessions broke records and we were able to walk away with exactly the colt we wanted. Hip 17 is a colt from the first crop of brilliant Life Is Good, a son of leading sire and proven sire of sires Into Mischief. He’s the first foal for his dam, Velvet Slippers, who was stakes placed twice in Southern California and hails from a deep family. Ownership interests are now available in the 2025 Bloomfield, LLC and we encourage you to reach out with any questions.

A Life Is Good - Velvet Slippers (Quality Road) colt purchased at the 2025 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga. He is available as part of the Bloomfield, LLC Thoroughbred racing partnership.

Saratoga Sense!

By centennial | Latest News, Makes Sense

Off the duck at Saratoga! There’s nothing like a winner at nation’s showcase meet and we love that this special group of partners got to enjoy one with this neat colt. We’re so grateful them, Dr. Carr, Paula Parsons and her staff, and the Pletcher barn. Makes Sense shipped up from Belmont Park where assistant Stu, groom Manfredi, and regular rider Aarom got him ready to roll. Our thanks to all and, of course, to Makes Sense himself!

Any trip to the Saratoga winner’s circle is always special, but a new program put in place by NYRA‘s racing department made his victory even more so. “Wayne’s Winners” honors the legacy of D. Wayne Lukas by inviting kids to join the celebration for the first race each day. Of course, Todd Pletcher is uniquely suited to take that unforgettable experience and make it magical. There’s nothing like being up-close with a racehorse and Makes Sense was happy to oblige!
