Diamond Creek Farm

What Diamond Creek Farm does

Diamond Creek Farm is a privately held Standardbred horse breeding operation founded in 2005 and led by Owner/President Adam Bowden, with Vice President Shaun Laungani. The company stands 12 high-caliber Standardbred stallions, headlined by Sweet Lou (2023 Dan Patch Pacing Sire of the Year, $30,000 stud fee, booked full and closed for 2026), Face Time Bourbon (€3.39M earner, 2x Prix d'Amerique winner, $20,000 frozen semen), Louprint (2024 Dan Patch 2YO Male Pacer of the Year, $17,500), Tactical Approach ($1M Hambletonian winner, $10,000), Pebble Beach ($6,000), Father Patrick ($5,000), Gimpanzee (3x Breeders Crown winner, pricing on application), Sabonis ($3,500), Downbytheseaside (2017 Dan Patch winner), Always B Miki, Cannibal, and Confederate. The company operates primary farms in Georgetown, Kentucky and Wellsville, Pennsylvania, with an administrative office in Lexington, Kentucky, and distributes stallion services through partner farms in Ohio, Indiana, New York, and Ontario.

The business generates revenue through three primary streams: stud fees paid by mare owners (transactional, with payment due within 30 days of a live foal), consignment commissions from selling client horses at yearling and mixed sales where Diamond Creek is consistently a top-10 consigner, and sale proceeds from Diamond Creek's own bred-and-raised horses. Distribution is hybrid — direct at company farms, channel-partner at satellite stallion stations (Winbak, Premier Acres, Sugar Valley, Winterwood, Blue Chip), and consignment-based at industry sales events. Go-to-market leverages YouTube content (Creekside Chat series, race-replay playlist), Constant Contact newsletters, and on-farm tours for breeders.

The company has no disclosed funding, is privately held with a closely-held ownership structure, and operates with a small core team of 14 named personnel across business operations, equine operations, marketing, bloodstock/sales coordination, bookings, sales administration, and farm management at each location. Its competitive position rests on a championship-pedigree stallion roster, multi-state breeding distribution, and consignment reputation in the Standardbred industry.
