Jeff Danford has been appointed farm manager at Pin Oak Stud in Versailles, Ky., which was recently purchased by Jim and Dana Bernhard from the estate of Josephine Abercrombie.
Originally from Southern Illinois, Danford earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture from Truman State University.
After early stints at Crestwood Farm and Margaux Farms, he became assistant broodmare manager, then broodmare manager at W. T. Young's Overbrook Farm. Upon that farm's closure, Danford was farm manager at Starwood Farm before taking the broodmare manager position at WinStar Farm in 2013.
“Leaving WinStar was a difficult decision and I want to thank Kenny and Lisa Troutt for all they have done for me over the past nine years,” Danford continued, “I am excited about this new opportunity and am thankful to Jim and Dana Bernhard for trusting me with the duties at Pin Oak. Pin Oak has such a great history and it is an honor to be part of this new chapter.”
