Harris Farms’ outstanding stallion roster highlights the commitment of the
farm to the California breeding industry. Each year nearly 350 mares pass
through the breeding shed at the farm, the first step in our programs which
have produced world class competitors. Swiss Yodeler, the reigning leading
sire of two year olds in California, leads the roster and is represented by 21
stakes winners and earners of over $18 million. Cee’s Tizzy, the only stallion
in California to have sired two Eclipse award winners and earners of nearly
$33 million, and High Brite, with earners of over $32 million, are the senior
members of the roster. In addition, the roster features Stormy Jack, sire of
California Horse of the Year Bob Black Jack, Redattore, sire of 7 group
performers, and young promising stallions Singletary, Lucky Pulpit, Tizbud
and newcomer Lucky J.H.
This high level of success on the racetrack and in the breeding shed
continues to be the goal at Harris Farms, which has accounted for 28
California divisional champions, 17 California Cup champions, and six Horse
of the Year honors for the farm and its clients. Thoroughbred stars who trace
their roots to Harris Farms include Soviet Problem, Cost of Freedom,
Continental Red, Moscow Burning, Thor’s Echo, Nashoba’s Key and Eclipse
Horse of the Year and only dual winner of the Breeders’ Cup Classic, Tiznow.
The Harris Farms horse division dates back over 40 years to the vision of
John Harris and his father Jack, both cattle ranchers, farmers and horsemen
who wanted to devote part of their operation to the breeding, raising and
training of Thoroughbred racehorses. The horse division represents just one
area of the larger Harris Ranch operation, which also operates California’s
largest cattle feed yard, as well as thousands of acres planted in almonds,
vegetables and citrus.
The acclaimed Harris Ranch Restaurant and beautifully appointed Harris
Ranch Inn provide a welcome oasis to weary travelers along I-5, and also
serves as a gathering place for important political, social and charitable
events attracting a wide audience. Harris Farms is not just a Thoroughbred
nursery, it is a California institution, providing thousands of jobs to the state’s
vital Great Central Valley.
Currently Harris Farms’ horse division includes the 320-acre main farm
located north of Coalinga, just east of the I- 5, as well as the 200-acre part of
the Harris River Ranch devoted to horses. The main farm boasts a full
commercial facility, offering a wide range of services, from breeding and
foaling to breaking and training, for both Harris Farms and its many loyal
clients.
The pastoral Harris River Ranch, where John and Carole Harris make their
home, is located 50 miles east of the main farm. The rich, sandy loam soil
and underlying limestone work with ideal water conditions to nourish 200
acres of large, expansive pasture conducive to the proper growth and
development of weanlings and yearlings. Cared for by our experienced River
Ranch manager Laurie Brown, her assistant Joel Carver and her staff, young
horses are well prepared for the rigors of the racetrack or the sales ring. Both
the main farm and the River Ranch cater especially well to young horses,
together totaling 520 acres of lush, irrigated pasture that provide the ideal
environments for future stars to grow and develop into sound and healthy
racehorses.
And of course, Harris Farms is the home of Unusual Heat.
