Leroidesanimaux named Stallion of the Year
The Florida Thoroughbred Farm Managers’, Inc. held their annual stallion showcase and silent auction Saturday night at the Ramada Inn Conference Center in Ocala. Each year the organization selects a stallion of the year, a farm manager of the year, a farm employee of the year and a recipient of the Carry Back Award.
At this year’s event, Stonewall Farm Ocala stallion Leroidesanimaux (BRZ) was named stallion of the year. The son of Candy Stripes had over $4 million in progeny earnings in 2011 led by Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Animal Kingdom. Also honored were Bob Noble of Ocala Stud as farm manager of the year, Declan Doyle of Vinery Florida as farm employee of the year and Dr. Michelle LeBlanc received the Carry Back Award.
