Kinsman Stable has become a powerhouse, much like the other holdings of “The Boss” George Steinbrenner III.  Kinsman Farm, a 750-acre property near Ocala, FL, is home to about 35 broodmares that produce runners for the stable’s racing operation, Kinsman Stable.  Kinsman Stable maintains approximately 25 horses in training with such quality conditioners as Bill Mott, John Servis, Kirk Ziadie, and Nick Zito.  Among the stable’s most notable runners is  Wood Memorial winner Bellamy Road, who became the sixth Kentucky Derby starter for Kinsman Stable.  Other Kinsman homebreds that have enjoyed success are Sweet Symphony (winner of the Grade I Alabama Stakes), Beacon Shine (Flash Stakes, which was a Grade III even at the time of Beacon Shine’s victory), and Diligence (winner of the ’97 rendition of the Grade II Tom Fool Handicap).  Kinsman Stable has also had a presence at the Breeders’ Cup with 1996 Juvenile runner-up Acceptable.  Other notable runners include Bellamy Road’s sire Concerto, who won the 1997 Jim Beam and Whirlaway Stakes and earned over $1.3 million.  Other stakes winners include Tampa dominator Ebony Breeze, who won three stakes at Tampa in 2003.  Steinbrenner is best known as the Managing General Partner of the New York Yankees and he was named Tampa’s Citizen of the Year in 1998.  No stranger to Florida racing, Steinbrenner owned Florida Downs (the current Tampa Bay Downs) from 1980 through 1986.
