The partnership growing parallel to equestrian

In a recent interview with Bloodhorse, McCauley, the owner of River Oak Farm, known for his remarkable success in the world of horse racing, unveiled exclusive partnership plans that are set to make waves in the equestrian community.

“We had a mutual friend, Shawn Collins, who had been with Taylor Made for a long time. Shawn introduced Bush and me during Derby week of 2015, and we struck up a friendship … we decided to partner up with him and had such a good time that summer,” McCauley said in the interview with Bloodhorse when asked about his close ties with Abbondanza Racing.

Furthermore, explaining the ordeal, Nathan added, “Thank god Bush agreed to do it, and we started the filly and mare venture with Abbondanza, which they have still today. I think they have been in the Breeders’ Cup most years since they began that and have had a graded stakes winner since 2016.”

With Del Mar as the backdrop and a renowned equestrian breeder leading the way, the industry is poised for exciting new partnerships that are truly “Perfect for Del Mar.”

A Legacy of Excellence & Impact on the Industry

Del Mar, a prestigious racetrack known for its scenic beauty and rich racing history, provides the perfect setting for McCauley’s partnership plans. It’s a place where horse racing enthusiasts and industry professionals converge to witness top-tier equestrian competitions. In the interview, McCauley shares his vision for future partnerships, shedding light on the criteria, goals, and strategies that will shape these collaborations.

Whether it’s breeding, ownership, or racing, McCauley’s insights are expected to set new industry standards. Talking about his industry expertise, he said, “I have been pin-hooking mares with Leslie Campion as my primary partner for the last 15 years. I knew we could profitably trade mares and develop a core business around that; for the past four to five years, we have pinhooked about 20-40 mares yearly.”
