He and Guillot have charted a course to breed their own stakes class horses. They have a training farm in Louisiana and bought a large farm near Lexington Ky., where the mares and foals reside. Among the blue-chip broodmares they have acquired are Better Than Honour, a world record $14 million purchase; Irish Cherry for $2.7 million; and Careless Jewel for $1.95 million. They’ve also added their top racemares, including Grade 1 winner Champagne d’ Oro, to the broodmare band.
Moreno, who holds an M.B.A., owns Dynamic Industries Inc., an offshore service company specializing in interconnecting piping fabrication, associated pipe installation-commissioning and offshore maintenance services.
In 2014, Southern Equine secured a signature win when homebred Moreno struck in the $1.5-million Whitney Stakes.
David Jacobson is a Thoroughbred trainer who often owns all or part of the horses he trains. After growing up in a racing family, David Jacobson began training in 1976 at age 19.

In 2013 he set the single-season record for victories at New York Racing Association tracks (Saratoga, Belmont, Aqueduct) with 160.
Top horses trained by Jacobson include multiple graded stakes winner Salutos Amigos and Grade 1 winner Strapping Groom.
