ABOUT MILL RIDGE FARM

Visit us at Mill Ridge Farm, near iconic Keeneland Racetrack, and experience a farm renowned for raising and selling first class Thoroughbreds. Owner Alice Headley Chandler’s father, Hal Price Headley, was the main force in the founding of Keeneland, and the first President of what is considered one of the greatest racetracks in the world.

After his death in a Keeneland barn in 1962, Alice inherited the land that would become Mill Ridge Farm. Just six years later she became the first woman to breed an Epsom Derby winner in SIR IVOR. Since the year 2000, Mill Ridge has raised and/or sold 39 Grade 1 winners including a Kentucky Derby winner, 9 Breeders’ Cup winners, 2 Horse of the Year Titleholders, and 2024 Preakness winner Seize the Grey.
