Established in the middle of the twentieth century by John W. Greathouse, Glencrest Farm rapidly established a reputation as a source of top-class horses. The farm also earned a reputation for the benefits of raising horses on the limestone enriched soil - land that Greathouse envisioned he could use to build and grow a successful operation for years to come.
Evolving into an 800 acre nursery, and today operated by the sons of John W. Greathouse - John, David, Allen and Edward, the farm nestled on the border of Scott and Woodford counties can trace the history of more than 90 stakes winners- including a Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks winner to their bluegrass fields.
By striving to raise a sound, well bred Thoroughbred athlete, Glencrest Farm has earned the trust of leading buyers from around the world. Each year, the goal of Glencrest Farm is to sell all yearlings at public auction. Those that do not sell are raced by the farm or its partnerships. This is the goal of the farm- allowing buyers to trust buying from them, knowing they are happy to race any horse themselves.
Among the successful runners offered by the farm in recent years are Grade 1 winners ZOFTIG, ADIEU, FLYING SNOWDROP, ROAMIN RACHEL. In 2006 the Glencrest silks were carried by Breeders’ Cup Distaff third place finisher and Grade 1 winner HONEY RYDER and in 2007 PANTY RAID earned her first Grade 1 win in the American Oaks at Hollywood Park.
