Started as a small boarding operation, this Midway, KY farm has built a strong and proud tradition of achievement. Three Chimneys has managed the careers of some of the top stallions in the history of American Thoroughbred breeding including the likes of Seattle Slew, Dynaformer and Rahy.

One of the core philosophies that drives the professional team and ownership at Three Chimneys Farm is that "nobody does it alone". It takes teamwork, hard work, and a well thought out plan to accomplish goals. The farm is ushering in a new generation of horse men and women who are passionate about and committed to the health and well being of some of the most prized and coveted bloodstock in the breed. Be they world class mares that constitute our breeding band or stallions who are leading a resurgence in the stallion station's storied heritage.
We believe in long term partnerships which create "good growth", defined as growth that benefits all stakeholders equally. Our bloodstock department is very active when it comes to finding private bloodstock purchasing opportunities, building win-win opportunities for all involved. We look for reasons to work with our clients and invest in their futures which allows us, in turn, to invest in our own.

Perhaps the finest example of our commitment to partnerships is best exemplified in our relationship with Leading owner Ron Winchell. In partnership, Three Chimneys raced Horse of the Year Gun Runner who now stands at the farm alongside Volatile, Sharp Azteca, Sky Mesa, Palace Malice and Funtastic. Gun Runner is off to a career at stud that has many comparing him to Danzig and Mr. Prospector. With 6 first crop Grade 1 Stakes Winners, including an Eclipse Champion and a Classic Winner, Gun Runner has sired no fewer than 4 sons who are standing or will be standing stud duty in Kentucky. His impact on the breed is certain to be lasting.
