Claiborne Farm is a historic Thoroughbred breeding operation based in Paris, Kentucky. Founded in 1910 and long operated by the Hancock family, it has nurtured more than 80 Champion racehorses, including Hall of Fame members Seabiscuit, Nashua, Bold Ruler, Round Table, Personal Ensign, and Ruffian. The farm also maintains a renowned roster of stallions, with horses standing at Claiborne having topped North American sire lists 29 times and featuring sires such as Nasrullah, Princequillo, Mr. Prospector, Secretariat, Danzig, and War Front. Claiborne serves breeders and others in the Thoroughbred industry who seek high-caliber bloodstock and stud services. Beyond its breeding operations, the farm engages in collaborative ventures and events that reflect its ongoing role in the sport. A recent development includes a collaboration with Hallowed Spirits Company to release a commemorative Thirty-One Lengths Bourbon honoring Secretariat’s historic Belmont Stakes victory.
