Magdalena has a world class grass gallop located on the outer fringes of the farm property lines. With the help of golf course designer Danny McQueen and his staff, we have cut and graded the land to be smooth for the safety and footing of your horses. The course is 1 1/2 miles long and 100 feet wide. The land was graded by Louisville Grading Company to perfection. With the help of expert advice from Dr. AJ Powell of the University of Kentucky, and Dr. Todd Bunnell of SePro Corporation, the course has been seeded with the highest quality grass. We have sections of Riviera Bermuda and Ultimate Fescue that allows us to choose the type of grass your horse trains on each day. The Riviera Bermuda was sewn at 100 pounds per acre and the Ultimate Fescue at 400 pounds per acre, giving course a high grass density which will help cushion the impact of your horse's training regime. The course has two steady inclines designed to strengthen your horses’ heart, lungs and muscles. We have the option of training your horse either left or right-handed in order to change their routine. At Magdalena we have many more options, keeping your horse mentally and physically together for a longer period of time.
My sole purpose for this project is to help keep horses racing happier and longer. Knowing how much people like yourself may invest, it is our goal to pay special attention to the horses in our care. I have focused all of my energies into developing a location where they can be happy and healthy, and I assure you that great attention to detail has been made. I invite you to come see us!
