My mother used to take me with my Godfather to Saratoga each year. My Grandparents had a Summer Home in nearby Saugherties NY. My Godfather is gone about 25 years, my mother passed away in 2009. They both would have loved this tour. This was a lovely tour.
Had the pleasure of being toured by John, earlier this year. Loved your , obviously hearing bout Secretariat and stories . Gorgeous horses. Beautiful facilities .
I’m always emotional when I see the graveyard; particularly Secretariat’s grave, though I have never been to Claiborne. I also broke down when seeing Man O’ War’s burial site years ago. There is a video record of his funeral in 1947.
I'm glad you mentioned Man O War, he has always been my favorite; it looks like Claiborne is preserving that bloodline. I have to get around to seeing the stations before they're retired.
I was there in 1989 and got to see so many of the greats in the stallion barn, including Secretariat. I received a lock of his mane from his groom, Bobby Anderson. I still have it with the light blue butcher paper wrapping it. Big Red died about nine or ten weeks after my visit.
I have heard so many opinions over the years about the horse in general. Are they considered smart ? BTW, I really enjoyed this story, the gentleman certainly knows his business. Need a better microphone to block the wind, but no biggie. Very informative documentary. I can't imagine the $$$ it takes to operate such a large scale operation !
Really, ya should have edited out the coughing and sniffing from the filmer, or simply stopped and let the poor thing have their nasal/lung process in private.🤧 Otherwise, it was lovely to get the feel of the place, hear the birds...
Seriously. Although I think it was live. Still couldn't concentrate on the tour...just wondering if she was possibly passing along you know what to everyone else with her. Other than that it was a lovely tour.😊

That’s my boy! War of Will! Love him to the moon and back xoxo. My favorite farm too!
Very nice. Can't wait to tour in person.
This is just wonderful! Thank you for posting.
I wonder who figured out horses liked peppermints? My mare loves them I think she would eat fifty.
What beautiful stallions!😍
I had no knowledge about them. thanks for the video!

I can't with Blame's drinking technique. Too funny.
Will you be doing another live tour soon?
You passed right by Pulpit the sire of Tapit.
The special 6 stalls seem kinda boring/sad like a solitary
Wish they could do a paddock paradise setup
