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 the era's top racehorses.
Further 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' dedication. 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 with offices in Lexington and New York, Robert oversees an array of Thoroughbred holdings worldwide. It is a journey he continues to embrace.​​​​
