Bourbon Lane Stable finished the day on a high note with a Bourbon Lane NZ exacta  in the final race at Tauranga. In the Rating 75 Benchmark  over 1600 meters on turf, Bourbon Proof  showed determination in the lane to hold off his fast-closing stablemate Queen Zou , who came flying down the outside and nearly got there at the wire. It was a thrilling finish that highlighted the consistency and talent within the Stephen Marsh Racing  barn. Both horses are trained by Stephen Marsh , with Matthew Cameron  aboard Bourbon Proof  and Matt Cartwright  on Queen Zou . The pair stopped the clock in 1:36.47 , securing an impressive result for Bourbon Lane NZ  and showcasing the strength of their New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing  program.

Magic Carpet , a 3-year-old colt by Satono Aladdin , broke his maiden in emphatic fashion with a decisive victory in the Group 2 Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m)  at Te Rapa. Ridden by Jonathan Riddell  and trained in Cambridge by Stephen Marsh , Magic Carpet broke alertly, settled just off the pace, and when asked at the top of the stretch, he quickened smartly to take command and pulled away to win with authority. Securing the Colt Every year, McMahon & Hill Bloodstock’s agents Mike McMahon and Jamie Hill  travel to the Karaka sale in New Zealand with the goal of sourcing the best horses to send to leading trainer Stephen Marsh. In 2024, working in step with Marsh and bloodstock agent Dylan Johnson, they identified Magic Carpet as their top pick of the sale . The colt was purchased for $320,000  from the Carlaw Park draft at the Karaka Book 1 Sale, with Bourbon Lane Stable and McMahon & Hill thrilled to secure half-ownership in partnership with an outstanding group of owners. Magic Carpet is raced by the 2024 Bourbon Lane Stables New Zealand LLC Partnership , Dennis E Foster, P Davey, Dr P H Mitchell, Mrs J J & P W Rogers, and G R Wilson. Breeding Magic Carpet was bred by Jenna McLeod , her brother Brian, and their parents Philip and Jackie Rogers out of the Tavistock mare From Eden . He hails from a strong family that includes Australian Group 2 winner The Fuzz  and Group 1 Thorndon Mile winner Stolen Dance . What’s Next Trainer Stephen Marsh  was delighted with the colt’s effort and believes there is plenty more to come: “I thought Jonathan would be someone who would really suit this horse as he is a good, strong rider. He got the best out of him as he just loped along when he hit the front. He has plenty of upside and is just a lovely horse.” Looking ahead, Marsh noted that Magic Carpet is likely to head next to the Group 2 Sarten Memorial (1400m)  before being aimed toward the Group 1 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m)  at Riccarton on November 15. “He is going in the right direction and has plenty to come and go on...I think he will be very competitive as he is loving life and he is a laid-back horse, although he started to get a little naughty today. He is as good a style of colt as you would see and I think he is much better on top of the ground.” Conclusion Magic Carpet’s breakthrough win on the Group stage reflects the shared vision of Bourbon Lane Stable and McMahon & Hill Bloodstock: to compete at the highest level of the sport with great horses, great partners, and a great team. With his maiden behind him and a Group 2 victory already secured, the road to the G1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas  is officially underway.

Twelve days at Keeneland September always reminds us why we love this work. Thousands of yearlings, hundreds of conversations, and a shared goal with our partners to find the right horses for the right plans. Our team showed up early, worked together, and finished the sale the same way we started it: focused and grateful. Preparation and Teamwork We’ve been preparing since August 19th, registering over 1,000 pre-sale inspections. Our Co-Founders Mike McMahon and Jamie Hill led evaluations on the grounds. Our Director of Business Development Mary Motion kept the short list tight with form updates from Saratoga and Kentucky Downs, using Pedigree 360 to filter targets. Our Controller Kristin Stivers kept the trains on time and the numbers straight. Trainers Ian Wilkes, Mark Hennig, Mark Roberts, and Randy Miles all weighed in with multiple looks ringside.

Old Guys Rule / Old Gals Rule Stable In 2024, a group of friends decided to start Old Guys Rule Racing Stable. Todd Armstrong, Todd’s father Bill, Monty Gibson, and Scott Lychwick joined forces to buy some horses and have some fun. Todd and Monty arrived at the 2024 September sale and scouted the grounds with McMahon & Hill. Their initial foray landed them five yearlings, and a return trip in November landed them a horse of racing age. In 2025, Todd and Monty returned with their wives, Tracey and Tanya. The first horse purchased was a colt who is a half-brother to Champion California Chrome. The kicker? The ladies decided to form their own stable—Old Gals Rule Racing—and made their first purchases as well.

The 2025 Saratoga meet once again proved why it remains the pinnacle of summer racing in New York. From breakout 2-year-olds to established graded stakes winners, McMahon & Hill Bloodstock clients and partners enjoyed an exciting and rewarding season at Saratoga Race Course. Partner Success and Commitment to Aftercare The meet began with a highlight from one of our longtime partners, Maggie Seidman, who celebrated a win with Vino Samara . Beyond the winner’s circle, Maggie was recognized by the New York Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund (NYBDF) for her leadership in Thoroughbred aftercare. Ensuring meaningful second careers for racehorses is vital to the long-term health of our industry, and Maggie continues to set an example we are proud to stand behind. Rising Stars on the Racetrack The racing action started early with Curtain Call  (out of Deep Trouble), who made an immediate impression by breaking his maiden on debut, earning TDN Rising Star honors. He closed the meet with a third-place finish in the prestigious Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes. Congratulations to breeder Nancy Stone, who partnered with us on this successful mating. Our clients saw additional graded success when Praying  (out of Pray for Leslie, bred by Jeff Kerber) captured the Grade 3 Prioress Stakes. That same family shined again when Spa Prospector , also out of Pray for Leslie, broke her maiden and ran third in the Grade 3 Adirondack Stakes. Success with NY-Breds and Stakes Horses We also celebrated victories on the New York-bred stage: Trail of Gold  (out of Bene Pista, bred by Spruce Lane Farm et al.) won the NY Stallion Stakes alongside America’s Pastime . Trail of Gold  is an exciting graduate of our broodmare co-ownership program, a reminder of the value in joining these partnerships. Oriole Way  (out of Elegant Zip, bred by Spruce Lane Farm et al.) finished second in the Seeking the Ante Stakes, continuing a family tradition that traces back to Elegant Finish , Bourbon Lane’s very first winner. Other notable runners included Bold Journey , a 2-year-old we purchased at OBS March for Seidman Stable. After running second in the Disco Partner Stakes at Saratoga, he has since moved on to his new connections. Consistency Across the Board The always-tough turf mare Spinning Colors  (owned by Bourbon Lane, HGS Thoroughbreds, Mark and Rosemary Hennig, and bred by Terry and William Parsons Jr.) put in two strong efforts, running second in the De La Rose Stakes on opening day and third in the Yaddo Stakes on Travers weekend. Additional maiden special weight (MSW) winners at the meet included: Spirit of the Law  (out of Bourbon Endowment, bred by SLF et al.) Undisputed  (out of Thin Disguise, bred by SLF et al.) Remembering a Special Pinhook Graduate While the summer brought many highs, we also paused to honor the memory of Mopotism , a graduate of Spruce Lane Pinhook (SLPH). The multiple graded stakes winner and dam of Preakness and Haskell winner Journalism passed away in July. We fondly remember her alongside other SLPH stars such as Pavel , Union Strike , and Rocketry . What an unforgettable group of pinhooks that was. Looking Ahead From Saratoga to the upcoming fall sales, McMahon & Hill Bloodstock remains committed to helping our clients succeed, whether in the winner’s circle, in the breeding shed, or at the sales ring. Our results this summer highlight the strength of our bloodstock services, the value of broodmare partnerships, and the lasting impact of supporting aftercare initiatives. We look forward to building on this momentum as we head into the next chapter of the year.

Bourbon Lane Stable has added another quality yearling at the 2025 Keeneland September Sale, purchasing Hip 1799 for $150,000 from Buckland Sales. The bay filly is by MCKINZIE, a multiple Grade 1-winning son of Street Sense, and she hails from the immediate family of graded stakes performer LOGICAL MYTH. This filly will be part of the Bourbon Lane Stable 2025 Yearling Partnership LLC as a co-owne rship opportunity. Each partnership includes three horses with a minimum investment of $10,000 per share. We are thrilled to add one of MCKINZIE’S daughters to our team. A top-class racehorse, MCKINZIE was a Grade 1 winner at two, three, and four. Trained by Bob Baffert, he captured races such as the Malibu Stakes (G1), the Pennsylvania Derby (G1), and the Whitney Stakes (G1), and finished second in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1). He earned over $3.4 million on the track and has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young stallions in Kentucky. MCKINZIE’S first crops are already making an impact, led by SCOTTISH LASSIE, winner of the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga. With his proven versatility and consistency, MCKINZIE is passing along the same balance and quality that made him such a standout on the track. Limited ownership opportunities remain.

Bourbon Lane Stable is pleased to announce the purchase of Hip 1648, a bay filly by Epicenter, acquired privately for $90,000 from Warrendale Sales at the 2025 Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

Photo Credit: Dave Harmon, The Saratoga Special Bourbon Lane Stable’s Spinning Colors turned in a courageous performance yesterday at Saratoga, finishing third in the $150,000 Yaddo Stakes, a 1 1/16-mile turf contest for New York-bred fillies and mares ages 3 and up. The 5-year-old daughter of Hard Spun broke sharply under Hall of Famer John Velazquez and went straight to the lead. She set honest fractions throughout, carrying the field deep into the stretch, and was only caught in the final strides to finish a game third against a competitive group. With this effort, Spinning Colors has now surpassed $400,000 in career earnings  — a milestone that reflects both her talent and consistency on the track. Career Stats Starts:  16 Wins:  5 Seconds:  3 Thirds:  2 Earnings:  $407,210 We are incredibly proud of her and grateful to everyone who makes days like these possible.

When we think of the most unforgettable moments in horse racing, few compare to the magic of Saratoga. For Bourbon Lane partner Alan Henry, a long-held dream was realized when he found himself in the winner’s circle at the prestigious track—alongside his son, Jared, and the entire Bourbon Lane team. Alan shares this deeply personal reflection on that moment: "Mike: I should have written this letter sooner, but here it is now. I want to thank you for turning what was, to me, an impossible 40-year fantasy into reality. That is, to be in the winners circle at Saratoga with my son for a stakes win with a horse he owns a part of, and with an entire team that feels more like a family than a business partnership. And to have all that with Bill Parsons’ home-bred makes it all the more special. Ok, the fantasy used to be that it was my horse, but I was thrilled to pass that prospect on to Jared years ago. Jared knows quite well that this is not a game for boys in short pants, but evolving decades-long relationships with the McMahons, Hennigs, Jamie and the rest of the Bourbon Lane team — built on respect and trust -- make it, for him (and for me) just one big beautiful thing. (OK, let’s keep the big beautiful bill out of this!) I know Spinning Colors’ win at Saratoga was just a single moment in time, but it crystallized half a lifetime of dreams for me, and at least half a lifetime of dreams for Jared, too. And now comes the best part of Thoroughbred horse ownership, as best described by Carly Simon. Anticipation, anticipationIs makin' me lateIs keepin' me waitin’ I thank you, in major part, for all of that, and I look forward to our paths crossing again soon. Alan" For Alan, this victory wasn’t just about the stakes win at Saratoga. It was about the culmination of a lifelong dream, a dream he shared with his son, Jared, and a deep-rooted partnership with the Bourbon Lane team. Their journey is a testament to the power of trust, family, and a shared love for the sport. At Bourbon Lane, we are proud to be part of turning dreams into reality and helping our partners build unforgettable memories. keywords: bloodstock agent, bloodstock, horse racing, thoroughbred partnership, horse racing partnership, racehorses, saratoga, mike mcmahon, pinhooking, pinhook partnership, saratoga springs, saratoga racecourse, jamie hill, mark hennig, stakes winner, stakes horse, bloodstock agent
