Benoit Photo EL POTENTE once again proved his class on the turf, delivering a dominant performance in the Grade 3 Thunder Road Stakes at Santa Anita Park , powering home by 3 ¾ lengths in impressive fashion. Purchased by McMahon & Hill Bloodstock for $35,000 at the 2021 OBS 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale on behalf of My Way Racing and trainer Dan Blacker. The 7-year-old son of Temple City has grown into a model of consistency and durability, becoming a multiple graded stakes winner while hitting the board in 12 of 17 career starts and earning more than $344,000. After enjoying success in last year’s edition of the Grade 3 Thunder Road Stakes, El Potente returned this season looking to defend his title. He made his comeback in November with a strong third-place finish in the Grade 2 Seabiscuit Handicap at Del Mar, followed by a solid fourth in the Grade 2 Joe Hernandez Stakes at Santa Anita last time out. El Potente’s continued success is a testament to the patience, horsemanship, and planning behind the scenes. Trained by longtime McMahon & Hill partner Dan Blacker , the gelding has been carefully managed throughout his career, allowing him to thrive year after year at the highest level. We congratulate the entire team on another outstanding achievement and look forward to what lies ahead for this remarkable horse!

Tale of the Gypsy (NZ)  continued her upward trajectory on Friday, January 30, with a strong win at Te Rapa Racecourse . The 3YO chestnut filly lined up in Race 4, a Rating 65 Benchmark over 1200 meters on the turf, and showed her quality when it mattered most. Racing under New Zealand skies while it was still Thursday evening in the U.S., she rewarded the confidence we’ve had in her from the very beginning. By Written By (AUS) , Tale of the Gypsy continues to progress the right way, and this victory puts her firmly on track for a stakes assignment next. Performances like this are exactly why we believe in patience, thoughtful placement, and expert horsemanship. It made the win even more meaningful to have Mike and Jamie in New Zealand celebrating alongside our partners! These are the moments that define the Bourbon Lane experience.

McMahon & Hill Bloodstock made two targeted purchases at this week’s Fasig-Tipton January Digital Sale, acquiring mares selected specifically to be bred to Showcase  and offered as a packaged opportunity that includes a share in the stallion. This package is designed to provide access to the New York breeding program at an approachable entry point, combining quality broodmares with a promising young stallion who brings both pedigree and racetrack credentials. Showcase Joins McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds Showcase will stand at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds for the 2026 breeding season at a fee of $5,000 live foal. A Grade 2 winning son of Uncle Mo, Showcase showed elite ability in limited starts and left a lasting impression on his connections. He earned TDN Rising Star honors after winning on debut in New York and followed up with a victory in the Grade 2 Saratoga Special. Todd Pletcher praised Showcase as his best two-year-old that season, citing his explosive speed, natural talent, and the impact he could have on the New York breeding program. The Mares Magic Mags  was purchased for $5,500. She is by elite broodmare sire Bernardini and out of black type winner Honolulu. She is currently in foal to Stage Raider on a March 26 cover. Stage Raider is a half brother to Triple Crown winner and leading third crop sire Justify and is by Pioneer of the Nile. He broke his maiden at Keeneland in dominant fashion, winning by more than ten lengths, then went on to capture a black type stake at Ellis Park and finish second in the Grade 2 Ack Ack Stakes at Churchill Downs. Win the Kitty  was purchased for $8,500. She is by Honor Code out of an Elusive Quality mare. Though unraced, she comes from a productive family of winners. She is in foal to Mo Town on a March 1 cover. Mo Town is a Grade 1 winning son of Uncle Mo and the sire of 19 stakes winners, including six graded stakes winners. His son Brotha Keny recently made history at the Inglis Digital USA Sale, selling for $550,000, the highest price ever achieved at that venue. Ownership Opportunities McMahon & Hill is offering limited 10% and 20% co ownership opportunities in this Showcase breeding package. This structure provides partners with exposure to both broodmare and stallion upside while participating in the incentives and opportunities available through the New York breeding program. Interested in joining? Please contact mary@mcmahonandhill.com  for additional information. Mike and Jamie are currently traveling to New Zealand to source yearlings for our 2026 Bourbon Lane Partnerships and may have delayed response times.

The Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale  is a foundational sale on the Thoroughbred calendar.

The 2026 racing season has started in the best possible way for Bourbon Lane Stable New Zealand , with our runners delivering three wins from three starts  to kick off the year. From elite Group Stakes success to dominant performances on the day, it has been an exciting stretch for our stable and partners. Queen Zou Delivers a Group 2 Statement The year began with a major highlight as Queen Zou  captured the Group 2 Rich Hill Mile  on New Year’s Day. Producing a powerful finish over 1600 meters, Queen Zou stamped herself as one of the top performers early in the New Zealand season. Her Group 2 victory set the tone for what was to come and marked a significant achievement for the Bourbon Lane NZ operation. Performances like this are what make racing at the highest level so rewarding for our team and partners. Super Photon Steps Forward at Tauranga Momentum continued at Tauranga when Super Photon  delivered a strong win in Race 2 over 1500 meters in an Open Handicap worth NZD $50,000. He showed maturity and improvement throughout the run, finishing with authority and confirming he is heading in the right direction. Credit goes to trainer Stephen Marsh  and his team for their thoughtful preparation and management. Super Photon continues to progress with every start and remains an exciting horse for the season ahead. Post Race with Stephen Marsh: Kiwi Skyhawk Makes It Three From Three Capping off a perfect start to 2026, Kiwi Skyhawk  captured Race 7 at Tauranga on January 8, winning decisively over 2100 meters. His victory also marked Bourbon Lane NZ’s second win on the card. Kiwi Skyhawk has been exceptionally good to our stable. The four year old is already a Group 3 winner and has now earned NZD $327,550 in prize money. He continues to deliver consistent, high level performances and remains a cornerstone of our New Zealand operation. Thank You to Our Team and Partners These results would not be possible without the outstanding work of Stephen Marsh and his entire team, whose dedication and horsemanship are evident every time our horses step onto the track. We are also incredibly grateful to our partners for their continued support and belief in the Bourbon Lane program. 2026 Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership Is Open With the season off to such a strong start, we are excited about what lies ahead. The 2026 Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership is OPEN , offering the opportunity to be part of a program focused on quality horses, top level racing, and a true ownership experience.

We are excited to be heading back to New Zealand at the end of the month for the Karaka Sale , where we will be purchasing horses for the 2026 Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership . If you have been following along, you know our New Zealand runners have been flying. They have consistently competed at the highest level in Graded Stakes company, and already in the 2025–2026 season the partnership has produced two Graded Stakes winners . We kicked off the new year on a high note when Queen Zou delivered a strong victory in the Rich Hill Mile Stakes  on New Year’s Day. One of the most exciting aspects of the Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership is the action. With racing opportunities throughout the season, there is almost always something to cheer for. It also makes for a great reason to plan a trip to New Zealand and experience the racing there firsthand, from the tracks to the sales to the overall atmosphere that makes the sport so special. Our success buying out of Karaka continues to build. Most recently, three-year-old colt Magic Carpet, a Karaka graduate, broke his maiden in the Hawke’s Bay Guineas  back in September, further validating the program and our approach. All of our New Zealand horses are trained by top conditioner Stephen Marsh . Partners receive weekly updates and are part of a passionate, engaged ownership group that enjoys the process just as much as the results. The 2026 Bourbon Lane New Zealand Partnership offers an affordable and exciting entry point into international racing ownership, with partnership interests available for a minimum investment of $5,000 . We would love to have you involved as we head back to Karaka and build the next group of runners for another exciting season in New Zealand. Interested in learning more? Contact us today!

Reflecting on 2025: Wins, Standards, and the Bourbon Lane Way As we put a bow on 2025, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has been a meaningful year for Bourbon Lane Stable. Not just in terms of wins on the racetrack, but in the bigger picture of what we have been building together for more than a decade. Since our founding in 2010, Bourbon Lane Stable has reached 273 total wins worldwide . That number includes 215 wins in the United States, 55 wins in New Zealand, and 3 wins in South Africa . What makes that milestone especially meaningful is how it was achieved. This success did not come from chasing volume or headlines, but from a disciplined, value-focused approach rooted in patience, horsemanship, and long-term thinking. Win Number 250 Win number 250  came earlier this year courtesy of Spinning Colors , who captured an allowance race at Gulfstream Park. Congratulations to her trainer, Mark Hennig , and jockey Reylu Gutierrez  on a terrific performance. Spinning Colors was co-bred by longtime friend, client, and fellow BCCA board member William Parsons Jr. , making the moment even more special. Reaching 250 wins is a significant benchmark for any stable. It reflects years of consistency, sound decision-making, and the strength of the partnerships behind the program. It’s Not Just Wins. It’s Stakes Wins. Beyond the overall total, 2025 was defined by quality results at the highest levels. This year, Bourbon Lane added four Graded Stakes wins , along with four additional stakes victories . These are the races every owner, trainer, and breeder works toward, earned through thoughtful placement, sound horses, and a team that understands the value of patience. Leadership Beyond the Finish Line Success at Bourbon Lane has never been measured solely by what happens on the racetrack. Our commitment to aftercare remains one of the pillars of who we are. In 2011, Bourbon Lane Stable was honored with the Allaire DuPont Leadership Award  by Thoroughbred Charities of America for establishing the Bourbon Lane Stable Retirement Fund , a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting our horses beyond their racing careers. To date, the BLSRF has helped 30 Bourbon Lane racehorses transition into second careers . The Bourbon Lane Family None of this happens without the people behind the scenes. Racing is a hard business. If it were easy, everyone would do it. The highs can be unforgettable. The lows can be gutting. What makes the journey worthwhile is sharing it with partners, horsemen, and teams who understand the process, trust the long game, and show up with the same belief in the program year after year.

Saturday, November 22 at Pukekohe Park proved to be a big one for Queen Zou, who captured Race 10 in dramatic fashion, winning by a short head in the Rating 65 Benchmark for 3yo & Up over 1400 meters. The turf event carried a purse of NZD $75,000. Queen Zou was ridden by Matt Cartwright and conditioned by trainer Stephen Marsh. The 2020 AUS-bred mare is owned by the 2022 Bourbon Lane Stable New Zealand LLC Partnership along with Mrs R A Carter, B Kendall, Dr P H Mitchell, and A P Saker. Her performance adds to a growing resume, bringing her career earnings to $141,295.00. Queen Zou continues to be a rewarding part of our New Zealand racing efforts and we look forward to her next start. Interested in joining Bourbon Lane New Zealand? Contact us today for more info!

At Bourbon Lane Stable, we believe Thoroughbred ownership should feel like more than a transaction. It should be a partnership built on transparency, communication, and a genuine commitment to doing right by our horses and the partners who invest in them. We take a strategic, hands-on approach to building our partnerships each year. The process starts with identifying quality prospects that fit our program and continue to offer long-term upside as they mature. We do not operate on volume. Instead, we focus on selecting quality athletes with strong foundations, balanced pedigrees, and the physical tools to compete at the highest level. From there, placement matters. Our horses train and race with horsemen who understand development, who communicate honestly, and who share our philosophy of putting the horse first. We study each horse individually to determine the right surfaces, distances, and circuits. That level of attention gives every horse a chance to maximize its potential rather than being slotted into a one-size-fits-all campaign. Just as importantly, we make sure our partners are informed every step of the way. Ownership should feel like being part of the team, not watching from a distance. We provide regular updates, plans, context, and honest evaluations so partners can understand where their horses are and where they are headed. The goal is to deliver results on the racetrack while fostering an experience that feels personal, engaging, and meaningful. Across the US and New Zealand, our partnerships reflect a consistent philosophy: thoughtful decisions, quality stock, and communication that keeps owners truly involved. If you are interested in exploring future partnerships or learning more about how we operate, we would be happy to connect and start a conversation.

We’re excited to share the first weanling purchase for the 2025 M&H Pinhook, LLC. We have added a beautiful filly by Forte , one of the most anticipated first-year sires of the season. A champion at two and a multiple Grade 1 winner at three, Forte was known for his consistency, toughness, and ability to handle top-class company. His pedigree, by Violence out of a Blame mare, gives him a strong genetic foundation, and his first crop has already impressed with their size, presence, and athleticism. This filly represents that quality incredibly well. She is the first foal out of Gravy , a mare who comes from a deep family that includes multiple Graded Stakes winners. An early January foal, she has excellent size, a strong and fluid walk, and a naturally classy look that stands out at this age. We purchased her for $160,000 , and the LLC will own 25 percent. This is a great opportunity to get involved with a promising filly by an exciting young sire and join an already strong group that includes the seven yearlings we bought this fall for the two-year-old sales. We will be adding more foals to this roster soon, so stay tuned because you will not want to miss what is ahead! Interested in learning more? Contact us today!
