A half century of quality

 

Ocala Stud sold its first crop of two-year-olds in 1958. Since that time, it has become a tradition for the farm to sell its entire juvenile crop, either at the Ocala Breeders’ in training sales in Ocala, Florida (obssales.com), or privately, right off the farm.

The Farm never races, and never holds back promising juveniles. Yet year after year, runners bred, raised, and sold by Ocala Stud rank among the best of their divisions in the U.S. and abroad.

 

A lasting success

Generations of results

Over the years, Ocala Stud has bred and sold more than 100 stakes winners, most of whom are also by Ocala Stud sires, including a Horse of the Year and four Divisional Champions. Equally important is the earnings power of our graduates. Since 2000, more than 40 horses bred by Ocala Stud have earned at least $200,000; 25 have earned at least $300,000; and 13 have earned more than $600,000.

Legendary performers

A reputation you can trust

Buyers of Ocala Stud two-year-olds bid with the confidence that they are getting the very best the farm has to offer. And results certainly bear this out. In 2010, Ocala Stud was America’s Leading Breeder of U.S. Graded stakes winners—and each GSW was indeed sold as a two-year-old.

A Proven Source for Stallions

Dr. Fager and Holy Bull

The male line of ROUGH’N TUMBLE is directly responsible for Hall of Fame Champions Dr. Fager and Holy Bull. Dr. Fager remains the only runner in Thoroughbred history to be named Horse of the Year, Champion Handicap Horse, Champion Grass Horse, and Champion Sprinter the same year. Holy Bull has sired 96 stakes horses to date, including a Kentucky Derby winner and a Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner.
