About Us | Robert Knolhoff, Jr. Bloodstock

Our Story

New York City-born and raised, Robert Knolhoff, Jr. was introduced to Thoroughbred racing on weekend family outings to nearby Belmont Park.

A dedicated student-athlete passionate about analyzing the preparation and training behind his favorite sports, he immersed himself in the careers of that era's top racehorses and trainers.

Resolved to absorb their daily routine up-close, from college he acquired experience mornings on the Belmont backstretch.

First walking hots for Hall of Fame trainer Woody Stephens, his affection for the horses was matched only by respect for their handlers' skilled commitment.

A career journey of his own was underway.

Next, Robert navigated the stunning landscape of central Kentucky, building a full list of industry contacts ahead of establishing his present-day business. Further travels to Newmarket and Europe's major horse centers extended that network abroad while lending a global perspective toward all future work.

Today, as an owner/breeder himself, Robert oversees holdings for an array of international clientele. It is a journey he continues to embrace.
