What Todd Pletcher Racing Stables does

Todd A. Pletcher Racing Stables, Inc. is a privately held thoroughbred horse racing training operation founded in 2005 and based in Saratoga Springs, New York, with a team of approximately 15 employees. The company provides professional training, conditioning, and race management services for thoroughbred racehorses on behalf of individual owners, farms, and racing partnerships, including daily care, exercise riding, veterinary coordination, and race entry management across major U.S. racetracks. Revenue is generated through privately negotiated training fees, and customer acquisition relies on Todd Pletcher's reputation, repeat-owner relationships, and race-track presence rather than a traditional sales motion. The stable's track record is the central product: eight Eclipse Awards as Champion Trainer (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2022), multiple Leading Trainer titles by money earned, 19 National Champion horses, and 1,500+ documented stakes winners, including Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes, and Breeders' Cup winners. Operationally, the stable works with a roster of high-profile owners (e.g., Repole Stables, Whisper Hill Farm, E. Paul Robsham Stables, Hill 'n' Dale, Twin Creeks) and has extended its offering to include a stallion and breeding program alongside the core training service.
