DR. GARY KNAPP TO BE THURSDAY'S GUEST ON BLOODHORSE.COM "TALKIN' HORSES"

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Join Dr. Gary Knapp, breeder of Big Brown, for this week's edition of BloodHorse.com "Talkin' Horses" at BloodHorse.com/TalkinHorses on Thursday, May 29, at noon EDT (9:00 a.m. PDT), sponsored by TrueNicks.com. In 1973, Dr. Knapp was inspired by the great Secretariat to buy a Kentucky farm and get involved in the Thoroughbred business. Thirty-five years later, the Minnesota native is the owner of Monticule farm near Lexington and finds himself in the national spotlight as the breeder of Triple Crown-hopeful Big Brown.

In 1990, Knapp purchased 220 acres of property that he developed into a Thoroughbred nursery, putting together a quality band of broodmares that has grown to 21 head. Knapp evaluates potential mares using a number of criteria, including having high EQUIX evaluations. EQUIX is a bloodstock advisory company founded in 1984 that assesses the athletic potential of Thoroughbreds using various measurements. After becoming a fan of its services, Knapp bought an interest in EQUIX and eventually took control of the company in 2003.

Knapp has expanded Monticule over the years to 530 acres and has also broadened his involvement in the Thoroughbred business. He has started a couple of other ventures that are subsidiaries of EQUIX: Goose Creek Stables, which is a Thoroughbred investment fund involving breeding, racing, and pinhooking; and Case the Race, which is in the business of selling handicapping data via the Internet to people who wager on horse racing.

In addition to Big Brown, runners bred in the Monticule name include Japanese group III winners Atago Taisho and Suteki Shinsukekun, Canadian grade III winner Prussian, and added-money winners Mykindasaint, Sharp Writer, and Vino Tinto. In 2006, Monticule sold the Danzig colt Plavius, a half-brother to Sharp Writer, for $9.2 million at the Keeneland September yearling auction.
