WinStar Farm, China Horse Club Int'l and Starlight Racing

 WinStar Farm was founded by Kenny Troutt and Bill Casner in 2000. The duo partnered in Excel Communications, a long-distance telephone service and communications company, before starting WinStar upon buying the 1,450-acre Prestonwood Farm property near Versailles, Ky. In 2010, Troutt bought out Casner’s portion of WinStar and is now the sole owner. WinStar stands several notable stallions and has campaigned the likes of Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Drosselmeyer, and Dubai World Cup winner Well Armed as well as several horses in partnership.

China Horse Club was established by Teo Ah Khing as a lifestyle and Thoroughbred racing club in 2013. They have been active at major North American Thoroughbred auctions as well as purchasing shares in racehorses that are already successful. China Horse Club’s most notable success is 2017 Kentucky Oaks winner Abel Tasman, who they raced with Clearsky Farms.

Starlight Racing is a racing partnership run by Jack and Laurie Wolf. Louisville, Ky., native Jack was a hedge fund manager at Columbus Partners, and in 2000, he and his wife Laurie – both longtime racing fans – became owners when they purchased six yearlings at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky sale in July. The pair’s love of horses is evident in everything they do, including founding the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, the industry's first broad-based initiative dedicated to helping retired Thoroughbreds. Laurie is the managing partner and CEO of StarLadies Racing and also serves on the board of the Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs.
