Bio
Adam Wachtel is the owner of Wachtel Stable. As the son of prominent New York owner Ed Wachtel who came into the business in 1973, Adam literally grew up at the racetrack. "I've been going to the races since I was 10 years old," he said. "Even though I went to law school, I don't practice. I've always loved this, and it is all I've ever wanted to do.”

Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners is a racing partnership started in 2012 by Aron Wellman, the son of longtime California breeders Michael and Cory Wellman. The stable has campaigned several Grade 1 winners, alone or in partnership, in its short history, including 2015 Acorn winner Curalina and 2014 Arkansas Derby winner Danza. The latter went on to finish third in the Kentucky Derby.
Former MGM executive Gary Barber also owns Derby contender War of Will. Barber is the co-founder of Spyglass Entertainment and now the CEO of Spyglass Media. Spyglass Entertainment produced such motion pictures as "Seabiscuit" (nominated for seven Academy Awards), "Memoirs of a Geisha" (won three Academy Awards), "The Insider" (nominated for seven Academy Awards), and "The Sixth Sense" (nominated for six Academy Awards). Barber has served as executive producer of more than 50 films, including "Seabiscuit." The South Africa native has owned Thoroughbreds alone and in partnership with his brother Cecil and others. Notable horses he has been a part of include In Lingerie, Comma to the Top, Jack Milton, and 2015 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Catch a Glimpse.
