The story
The Farm was formed by John R. Gaines, considered the founder of the Breeders Cup. Originally located off Tates Creek Pike in Lexington, this property was sold for development, and the thoroughbred division of Gainesway Farm, under the ownership of John R. Gaines, was moved to the present location on Paris Pike in Lexington.
In 1989, Gainesway Farm was sold to South African horseman Graham J. Beck, whose acquisition included what was once the C.V. Whitney farm properties established in 1915 by Harry Payne Whitney, plus the parcel belonging to Payne Whitney's Greentree Stud.
