"A farm is comprised of three things - Good soil, good horses
and good people and WinStar is fortunate to have all three. First,
the acreage that comprises WinStar Farm is rich with nutrients.
Second, with our stallions, broodmares, foals, yearlings and racing
stable, we continue to build on an operation that is part of the
upper echelon of the Thoroughbred industry. And last, but not
least, are the people who look after the day-to-day business and
long-term vision for WinStar Farm – we have some of the best
in the business." - Bill Casner
Today WinStar Farm is comprised of approximately 1400 acres,
including the original 450-acre tract of land, once known as Silver
Pond Farm. Settled in the 1700’s by the Williams of Tidewater
Virginia, the Silver Pond property remained in the family for over
150 years. Today the original farmhouse, smokehouse, pond, bank
barn and Osage orange allee on Pisgah Pike are listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, and the acreage includes land
from the Olsen, Johnson and Kinkead farms.
