Fox Hill Farms, Inc.

Fox Hill Farms owner Rick Porter of Wilmington, Del., bought his first horse as an owner in 1994 after being a lifelong fan of racing. Porter attended Delaware Park with his family when he was younger, and offers his support to grow the fanbase.

Porter earned his first Breeders' Cup victory when Round Pond won the 2006 Breeders' Cup Distaff. Purchased by Porter for $105,000 as a yearling, on her retirement Round Pond was sold to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for $5.75 million at the 2007 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November sale.

Porter came close to another Breeders' Cup trophy in 2007 when Grade 1 winner Hard Spun was second to Horse of the Year Curlin in the Breeders' Cup Classic; earlier that year Hard Spun was second in the Kentucky Derby, third in the Preakness, and fourth in the Belmont. Porter also finished second in the 2008 Kentucky Derby with the ill-fated filly Eight Belles.

In 2011 the Larry Jones-trained mare Havre de Grace won five of her seven starts, including the Grade 1 Woodward Stakes against males and finished fourth in the Breeders' Cup Classic against males to be named Horse of the Year and older mare. She was sold at Keeneland's November sale the following year for $10 million, a record price for a broodmare prospect.

In 2015, Songbird brought another Breeders' Cup home for Porter with a runaway victory in the Juvenile Fillies to seal up the 2-year-old championship. Songbird has won all 11 of her starts heading into a planned return to the Breeders' Cup on Nov. 4-5, 2016, including seven Grade 1 stakes races.

Other notable racehorses owned by Porter include Jostle, Zonk, Rockport Harbor, Old Fashioned, Joyful Victory, Coup de Grace and Kentuckian.
