Denali Stud Location: Paris, Ky.Owners: Craig and Holly BandoroffWebsite: denalistud.com
Background: Craig and Holly Bandoroff’s Denali Stud near Paris, Ky. is one of the Thorough-bred industry’s leading bloodstock consignors.
Craig Bandoroff was a jockey in New Jersey in the early 1970s until a spill at Garden State Park in 1974 left him without the use of his right arm, forcing him to explore other career paths within the industry. The Ban-doroffs each gained experience working in various bloodstock and sales capacities, and in 1990 they opened Denali Stud. “Denali” is derived from the name given by the Eskimos to Mt. McKinley and means “the great one.”
In the late 1990s, Bob Lewis and his wife, Beverly, sent their champion racemare Serena’s Song to Denali when she was re-tired. Denali has sold several of Serena Song’s offspring, including Group 1 winner Sophisticat, by Storm Cat, for $3.4 million at the 2000 Keeneland July Selected Yearling Sale; Grade 2 winner Harlington, by Un-bridled, for $2.8 million at the 2003 Keene-land September Yearling Sale; and Colourful Score, a colt by Storm Cat, for $3.5 million, at the 2005 September Sale.
At the 2008 November Sale, Denali Stud, agent, sold future champion Uncle Mo as a weanling to Moon Bloodstock for $160,000.
2014 stakes winner consigned as wean-lings to the November Sale (as of Sept. 22): Governmentshutdown.
Eaton Sales Location: LexingtonOwners: Reiley McDonaldWebsite: eatonsales.com
Background: Eaton Sales Inc. is owned by Reiley McDonald, who purchased the sales agency from its founder, the late Lee Eaton, in the 1990s.
A Maryland native, McDonald holds a degree in Animal Sciences from Cornell Uni-versity. He worked at various Maryland race tracks as an exercise rider and assistant train-er. McDonald was an officer of Fasig-Tipton Company Inc. prior to buying Eaton Sales.
Eaton Sales served as agent for the dis-persal of the W.T. Young family’s Overbrook Farm, which in 2009-2010 sold 205 horses
for $38,606,000. At the time, the dispersal was the second largest in Keeneland sales history. It is now third behind the Edward P. Evans Spring Hill Farm disper-sal, which sold 221 hors-es for $62,364,000 mil-lion in 2011-2012, and the Nelson Bunker Hunt dispersal, which sold 580 horses for $46,912,800 in 1988.
In 2004, Eaton Sales, agent, purchased four-time Keeneland graded stakes winner Take Charge Lady, who was in foal to Seek-ing the Gold, for $4.2 million at the Keene-land November Breeding Stock Sale. From Take Charge Lady, Eaton bred Grade 1 win-ner Take Charge Indy, a colt by A.P. Indy colt, and 2013 champion 3-year-old male Will Take Charge, by Unbridled’s Song.
At last year’s November Sale, Eaton Sales, agent, sold Grade 1 winner Daisy Devine to Flaxman Holdings for $1.3 million.

Gainesway Location: LexingtonPresident: Antony BeckGeneral Manager: Neil HowardDirector of Sales: Michael HernonWebsite: gainesway.com
Background: Located on Paris Pike near Lexington, Gainesway is a 1,500-acre, full-service Thoroughbred farm that is home to nine stallions, including Afleet Alex, Birdstone and Tapit.
The farm was found-ed by John R. Gaines, who was famous for his inno-vations in the Thorough-bred industry, including the concept that became the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. In 1989, Graham J. Beck, a successful businessman, wine maker, and Thoroughbred horseman in his native South Africa, purchased the farm from Gaines.
Beck died in July 2010. Today, his son, Antony, oversees farm operations as Presi-dent. The younger Beck’s involvement in the Thoroughbred industry includes serving on the board of directors of Breeders’ Cup Ltd.
Gainesway includes two historic opera-tions, Greentree Stud and the C.V. Whitney
farm. Beck and his wife, Angela, have nur-tured Gainesway into a facility known for more than Thoroughbreds. An emphasis on trees and spectacular gardens helped the farm earn official status as an arboretum from the American Public Garden Associa-tion.
At last year’s Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, Gainesway, agent, sold dual Grade 1 winner Ask the Moon for $1.8 million. Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings purchased the daughter of Malibu Moon, who was in foal to War Front.

Hill ‘n’ Dale encompasses 1,300 acres and stands 10 stallions, including Midnight Lute and Stormy Atlantic.

At the 2007 Keeneland November Breed-ing Stock Sale, Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency, agent for Swettenham Stud, sold the highest-priced horse in the sale’s history – Playful Act (IRE) – for $10.5 million. The amount is the third-highest price ever paid for a horse at any Keeneland sale.

Brilliant Farm for $2.6 million. Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency, agent, sold the Storm Cat mare Zealous Cat for $1.3 million to Shadai Farm at the 2013 November Sale.

John Magnier, whose family was promi-nently associated with jumpers in Ireland, helped establish Coolmore as one of the world’s leading stallion operations. In 1975, legendary trainer Vincent O’Brien tapped Magnier to manage Coolmore for O’Brien and his partner, Robert Sangster. Their asso-ciation resulted in Coolmore’s domination of the European classics during the late 1970s and 1980s.
Today, Coolmore Ireland stands such leading stallions as Galileo (IRE) and Dane-hill Dancer, while Giant’s Causeway, Hen-rythenavigator, Tale of the Cat and Lookin At Lucky, among others, stand at Ashford. Coolmore also encompasses the famed Bal-lydoyle training yard, where Vincent O’Brien conditioned such champions as Sir Ivor, Ni-jinsky II, Alleged, Storm Bird and Sadler’s Wells, and today serves as home base for Irish champion trainer Aidan O’Brien (no relation).
Either individually or in various partner-ships, the Magniers, Tabor, and Smith have been represented by numerous Group/Grade 1 winners and champions in Europe and the U.S. This year, the partners won the Epsom Derby (G1) and Juddmonte Interna-tional (G1) in England and Irish Derby (G1) in Ireland with Australia, a colt by Coolmore stallion Galileo who is out of the interna-tional superstar mare Ouija Board (GB).

Shadai FarmLocation: Hokkaido, JapanPrincipal: Teruya “Terry” YoshidaWebsite: shadaifarm.jp/english
Background: The Yoshida family’s Shadai Farm, located on the island of Hokkaido in Japan, is one of the world’s most famous Thoroughbred operations and an impor-tant patron of Keeneland sales. At last year’s Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, Shadai purchased the Storm Cat mare Zeal-ous Cat for $1.3 million.
Principal Teruya “Terry” Yoshida’s grand-father, Zenuske Yoshida, was one of the first Japanese to import Thoroughbreds from the U.S. on a major scale. He died in 1946, leav-ing the family business to his son Zenya Yo-shida (Terry’s father) and his two brothers. Zenya Yoshida founded Shadai in 1955.
Zenya Yoshida formerly owned a stud farm in the Tokyo region that the Japanese government purchased in 1958 as part of the land for Narita International Airport. Yo-shida used the money to buy land on Hok-kaido, which is now Japan’s principal center of Thoroughbred breeding, and developed Shadai Farm.
When Teruya Yoshida graduated in eco-nomics from Keoi University in 1969, his father sent him to Kentucky to manage Fon-tainebleau Farm, then the American branch of Shadai. He spent five years at Fontaine-bleau, during which time he spent $100,000 for Northern Taste, a son of Northern Dancer who won the 1974 Prix de la Foret at Long-champ. Northern Taste was the champion stallion in Japan for 11 consecutive years.
Sunday Silence, winner of the 1989 Kentucky Derby (G1), Preakness (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), entered stud at Shadai in 1991 and became a perennial lead-ing sire. He died in 2002 at the age of 16.
Shadai Stallion Station currently stands about 28 stallions. They include 2002 Ken-tucky Derby (G1) winner War Emblem.
Whisper Hill Farm LLCOwner: Amanda “Mandy” PopeLocation: Citra, Fla.
Background: Mandy Pope’s Whisper Hill Farm LLC has made head-lines with the acquisition of several high-priced broodmare prospects. Among them is two-time champion and Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1) winner Groupie
Doll, purchased for $3.1 million at last year’s Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. The amount was the second-highest price recorded at the sale.
Groupie Doll raced twice more under Whisper Hill Farm ownership, finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Cigar Mile against males and drawing off to a dominant victory in the Grade 3 Hurricane Bertie in 2014. The mare was bred to leading sire Tapit.
At this year’s Keeneland September Year-ling Sale, Whisper Hill paid $1.6 million for an Unbridled’s Song colt who is half-brother to Preakness (G1) winner Oxbow. Whis-per Hill bought four yearlings for a total of $3,125,000.
Pope, who grew up riding hunters and jumpers, became interested in racing when she moved to Florida in 1980. She boards her broodmares in Kentucky and raises her young horses at Whisper Hill, which also is home to many retired Thoroughbreds.
Pope is co-owner of discount retailer Va-riety Wholesalers along with her brother Art. She also serves as vice chairman of the John William Pope Foundation, which works to improve the well-being of the citizens of North Carolina and the nation through the
