What The Hill To Stand In Ohio

Published: December 29, 2017 03:10 pm EST

Hickory Lane Farm of Findlay, Ohio has partnered with Taylor Made Stallions, Inc. and Steve Stewart of Hunterton Farm, both of Lexington, Ky., to purchase the 2017 Dan Patch award-winning Three-Year-Old Colt Trotter of the Year What The Hill, who will stand the 2018 breeding season in Ohio at Hickory Lane Farm.

“We are thrilled to have the privilege of partnering with Taylor Made and Hunterton Farm, two of the most well-known and respected names in the horse racing industry,” stated R. Kevin Greenfield, president of Hickory Lane Farm.

Trained by Ron Burke throughout his career and driven by David Miller for his previous owners Burke Racing Stable, LLC, Our Horse Cents Stables, J&T Silva Stables, LLC, and Deo Volente Farms, LLC, What The Hill was the top performing three-year-old colt trotter this year, winning numerous prestigious races including the $527,500 Breeders Crown, the $684,000 Canadian Trotting Classic in a stakes record of 1:51.4, an elimination heat of The Kentucky Futurity, and the $350,000 TVG Series Championship in which he defeated aged trotters in 1:51.4. At two, he won the New Jersey Sire Stakes Championship and the $294,450 Peter Haughton Memorial. In a dramatic twist of fate this year, What The Hill crossed the finish line first in the $1,000,000 final of the Hambletonian, only to be disqualified by a controversial judges’ decision that is presently under appeal.

What The Hill is being syndicated, and shares are now available for purchase under very attractive terms. He will stand at a service fee of $7,000 and it is expected that his book will fill quickly.
