On Wednesday, BTE Stables finalized the purchase of a portion of historic Golden Chance Farm, home of the 1970 Kentucky Derby winner Dust Commander.
The farm's proven soils have produced such notable alumni as John Henry and Run Dusty Run and features 56 stalls across two training barns, a HydroHorse aquatred, Kraft hot walker, round pen and grass gallop.
“We're excited to stake our claim in the heart of Bourbon County among such esteemed neighbors as Godolphin's Stonerside, Coolmore America's Creekview and Hill 'n' Dale at Xalapa as we start the next chapter at BTE” said founding partner Daniel Schmidt.
Founded in 2019, BTE Stables began pinhooking with the intention to grow into a top-tier operation, offering personalized care for Thoroughbreds.
BTE Stables looks forward to transitioning to the property coming off the six-figure sale of its first independent pinhook (Hip 479 in the Fasig Tipton September Select Showcase), allowing the owner-operators to live onsite and and take on additional boarding clients.
BTE Stables' Erin O'Keefe expaned on the mindset; “Our focus is providing dedicated, individualized programs for every horse in our care. Our philosophy focuses on allowing horses to grow and develop naturally, incorporating ample turnout time and socialization with customized feed regimens and individualized attention. This hands-on approach establishes a solid foundation for success in the sales ring and on the racetrack.”
BTE is currently accepting new clients and their services include layups, weanling and yearling board, select mare and foal care, sales prep, on-site farriery and bloodstock advising in addition to pinhooking partnerships.
