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 best horses.

Resolved to absorb their daily routine up-close, starting from college he acquired hands-on experience mornings on the Belmont backstretch. His affection for the horses was matched only by respect for their handlers' commitment. A career journey of his own was underway.

Next, Robert navigated the stunning landscape of central Kentucky, there building a full industry network 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.
