K
entucky brings to mind visions of a bucolic ideal populated by magnificent stallions and mares.
Big Brown, the horse that won the Kentucky Derby, America���s
ultimate horseracing trophy, was bred, foaled and reared as a
yearling at Dr. Gary Knapp���s ���Monticule��� Farm.
Monticule is both a dynamic thoroughbred operation and an
arboretum. Some of the thoroughbred industry���s greatest sires
are found in the pedigree lines of Monticule broodmares, including Seattle Slew, Gulch, Broad Brush, Mr. Prospector, A.P.
Indy, Deputy Minister, and Danzing (who sold for $9.2 million). All this equine beauty exists atop a plantation Dr. Knapp
envisioned on a Jeffersonian scale.
