If you've been there, could you compare it to Juddmonte, or if you haven't been there, compare Juddmonte to other farms that you've seen? Taking farm tours is a part of the Keeneland experience.
I've only been to Ashford to watch the Irish Derby so only saw the main building and none of the stallions or stallion barn, but from what I saw it was beautiful. I'm sooo partial to the horses at Juddmonte that it is really hard for me to think anything could be better though. Castleton Lyons is pretty neat and I only saw enough of Lane's End to see A.P. Indy & a few others do their thing. LOL Hill N' Dale is pretty exceptional as well. Their Stallion Complex had one awesome Architect.


Both Gainseway & Win-Star I only went to in order to look at Yearlings. I love the staff at Gainesway though and imagine they would be first class in accomodating people to see their stallions. (ask to see the gravesite too!)

PM me your email and I'll send you the pics of Juddmonte.

I don't seem to have any good pics of the Juddmonte Barns...or the stallions for that matter...must have been a bad day

LOL, what are they feeding Fupeg and Thunder Gulch?!
Thanks for sharing those with us! All my Juddmonte photos, saved those with a very special mare, are inside...one of those flash storms Kentucky is so famous for. Mizzen Mast is the most photogenic horse on the planet.
