Hibiscus Stables was founded in 2003 by three long-time friends who share a passion for Thoroughbred racing, winning, and excellence. Our goal is to build on our success and continue to acquire quality Thoroughbreds capable of competing at the highest levels of racing and running on major circuits. Our commitment is unwavering. Although we race primarily in New York, because we believe that to have the day-in and day-out best racing and highest purses in the country, we've also expanded into Florida and other circuits along the east coast.
Founded on a pure passion for the sport, Hibiscus Stables has since become a partnership organization with a strong reputation for integrity, unprecedented customer service, and one of the most committed teams in the industry. Hibiscus partnerships are professionally managed, beginning with the selection of the athletes and the creation of each partnership group. From there, Hibiscus employs a tailored strategy for training and managing each horse’s career to leverage its strengths and give it every chance to succeed.
Partnerships provide a smart, cost effective way to realize the dream of Thoroughbred racehorse ownership. Collectively, individuals are empowered to own part of promising racehorses and can retain the services of industry leading trainers and jockeys that might otherwise be out of reach individually. Partnerships offer an opportunity to share in the rewards that come with ownership at a fraction of the cost. Hibiscus offers all this and more: a truly unique experience, a refreshing approach and a team that is driven to succeed.
We at Hibiscus Stables have decades of experience in the Thoroughbred industry. We’ve attended Thoroughbred auctions throughout the country. We’ve bought horses for as little as $25,000 that have gone on to become earners of black type. We’ve acquired broodmares for as little as $24,000 that have gone on to produce stakes winners. We’ve acquired horses for as little as $35,000 that have gone on to win $500,000 stakes races. We’ve assembled a band of broodmares numbering no more than 9 head and have consistently been ranked as a top-10 breeder in New York ranking in front of commercial breeders with orders of magnitude more mares.
Numbers don’t lie. We accomplish these achievements by exercising unwavering discipline in our acquisition and breeding decisions. We know there is value to be found in every circumstance. The key is to use analytics to expose the value and then use cold objectivity in executing the plan. Anyone who allows emotions to affect decision-making has already lost. Our objective approach is what allows us to avoid costly pitfalls so common to other buyers and advisory teams. The proof is in the results.
Each year Hibiscus Stables returns to the sales with an aggressive strategy to acquire promising athletes at the right price point to maximize the investments of the partners.
