  • What is pinhooking? Spruce Lane Pinhook

    To pinhook means to buy something for a low price, hold onto it, and sell it once it’s become more valuable. This term has a long history in Kentucky, spanning the industries most closely identified with the state—tobacco, horse racing, and now, whiskey with our friends at Pinhook Bourbon. In the context of thoroughbred racing, pinhooking involves purchasing young horses with the intention of reselling them at a profit later. This practice is particularly common in the yearling and 2-year-old sales markets, where buyers look for horses that have the potential to become successful racehorses. Pinhooking requires a keen eye for talent, an understanding of pedigree and conformation, and a bit of market savvy. The Pinhooking Process Selection : Pinhooking bloodstock agents attend sales and evaluate the young horses. They assess factors such as physical attributes, bloodlines, and veterinary reports to identify horses with the greatest potential. Purchase : After selecting a horse, the pinhooker buys it at a relatively low price, hoping to add value through training, care, and preparation. Preparation : Horses may undergo training and conditioning to enhance their appeal to potential buyers when being resold. This stage is crucial as it prepares the horse for resale and showcases its best qualities. Weanling to yearling pinhooks will spend time on a farm to grow up and be prepped for yearling sales, while yearling to 2-year-old pinhooks will enter training under saddle ahead of 2-year-old in training sales. Resale : After a set period, pinhookers enter the horse in a sale, aiming to achieve a profit compared to the original purchase price. Spruce Lane Pinhook: Your Partner in Pinhooking Success At Spruce Lane Pinhook, we specialize in an annual weanling-to-yearling pinhook partnership, led by our experienced managers, Mike McMahon and Jamie Hill. With a unique blend of investment management expertise and deep-rooted knowledge in the equine industry, we excel at identifying and nurturing promising young thoroughbreds for profitable sales. In 2005, Mike and his wife, Natanya, purchased Spruce Lane Farm in Versailles, KY, to accommodate their growing broodmare band, layups, and pinhook ventures. It is here that we meticulously prepare our weanlings for successful yearling sales. Our approach includes: Expert Evaluation : Mike McMahon and Jamie Hill are skilled at assessing horses' potential based on conformation, pedigree, and marke t trends, ensuring that we make informed purchasing decisions. Quality Care : At Spruce Lane Farm, we prioritize the well-being of each horse. With state-of-the-art facilities and experienced staff, we provide top-notch training and handling to maximize their potential for resale. Market Insights : With our finger on the pulse of the racing industry, we keep track of market shifts and trends, enabling us to time sales effectively for the best possible returns. Upcoming Opportunities McMahon & Hill  will begin shopping at the Fasig-Tipton  and Keeneland November Sales  to identify weanlings to pinhook for next year through our Spruce Lane Pinhook Partnership. We have a minimum investment of $25,000 for this partnership group. Please contact us for more information. Conclusion Pinhooking can be a rewarding venture for those willing to invest the time and resources needed to succeed. With Spruce Lane Pinhook, you gain a partner dedicated to helping you navigate the intricacies of this exciting aspect of thoroughbred racing. Whether you're a seasoned investor or new to the industry, our expertise and commitment to excellence will help you achieve your pinhooking goals.

  • Uno Mas Bourbon SUPER in Stakes Debut

    From the 2022 Bourbon Lane Stable Yearling Partnership, 3-year-old Uno Mas Bourbon  made a bold statement in his first stakes appearance, winning the 42nd running of the $250,000 Super Derby at Louisiana Downs, presented by Cypress Solar and Roofing. Co-owned by Bourbon Lane Stable and Six Column Stables, the talented colt showed both patience and power as he came from off the pace to earn his first stakes victory. After shipping in from Kentucky following a solid third-place finish in an allowance race at Ellis Park, Uno Mas Bourbon sat off the early speed, where The Donegal Clan  set brisk opening fractions of :23.83 and :48.32 for the first half-mile. Biding his time, Uno Mas Bourbon was unhurried, waiting for the perfect moment to make his move. As the field turned for home, jockey Francisco Arrieta expertly maneuvered Uno Mas Bourbon through a narrow opening between horses, unleashing an impressive burst of speed. He surged past the pacesetter, crossing the finish line 1¼ lengths  ahead as the slight 3-1 favorite. The final time for the 1 1/8-mile  race was 1:51.02  over a fast track. “He’s a nice horse,” Arrieta said. “When I rode him in Kentucky, we ran into a little trouble, but he still put in a great performance. Today, he was more relaxed, and once he found another gear, he took off. He ran a fantastic race.” Trained by Ian Wilkes, Uno Mas Bourbon is a 3-year-old colt by the recently deceased Macho Uno , out of the Harlan's Holiday  mare Camielee . With a record of 2-0-3 from eight starts and earnings of $219,745, he continues to build on the success of his connections. Bred in Kentucky by T/C Stable LLC, Uno Mas Bourbon was purchased for $75,000 by Six Column Stables and McMahon and Hill Bloodstock at the 2022 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, where he was consigned by Legacy Bloodstock. This Super Derby win showcases Bourbon Lane Stable’s commitment to building racing partnerships based on sound investment and talent. Bourbon Lane Stable’s focus on identifying quality yearlings has paid off, proving once again the value of their strategic partnerships.

  • Following in the Hoofprints of Bourbon Courage

    This weekend, Bourbon Lane Stable's promising 3-year-old colt, Uno Mas Bourbon , takes center stage in the Super Derby  at Louisiana Downs. As we eagerly anticipate his performance, it’s hard not to reflect on one of Bourbon Lane’s all-time greats— Bourbon Courage , whose dominant victory in the 2012 Super Derby set the tone for a remarkable racing career. Bourbon Courage , a son of Lion Heart  out of Shine Forth  by Carson City , was purchased by bloodstock agents Mike McMahon  and Jamie Hill  at the 2010 Fasig-Tipton July Sale for just $15,000. What started as an unassuming yearling turned into one of the best investments in Bourbon Lane Stable's history. Bourbon Courage would go on to have an illustrious career, amassing over $1 million in earnings and becoming a staple in top-level racing across the country. In the 2012 Super Derby, Bourbon Courage burst onto the scene with a stunning victory, winning by a decisive 5 lengths. That performance launched him into a series of graded stakes races that would define his career. He made a total of 25 starts, with 18 of those being in graded stakes races, cementing his place as one of the most durable and consistent horses in Bourbon Lane's stable. His wins include the Grade 2 Super Derby , while notable placings include second in the Grade 1 Donn Handicap  and the Clark Handicap . What makes Bourbon Courage's story even more special is how he defied expectations. He was known for his toughness, versatility, and heart, always giving his best against top competition. A $15,000 purchase, he far outperformed his price tag, showcasing the incredible eye for talent that McMahon and Hill  bring to the table. Bourbon Courage’s career not only validated their expertise but also put Bourbon Lane Stable on the map for identifying value at yearling sales. As Uno Mas Bourbon prepares to follow in the hoofprints of this legacy, we can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and nostalgia. Like Bourbon Courage, Uno Mas Bourbon represents the very best of what Bourbon Lane Stable strives for—great horses, great people, and great bourbon. Contact Us Today!
