Case Clay

Case was brought up in the heart of American racing at his family’s world-renowned Three Chimneys Farm in Kentucky. He began his professional career at the farm in 2004 and held the role of Chief Operating Officer. He oversaw the later years of the stallion careers of some of the most influential North American sires, among them Seattle Slew, Rahy and Dynaformer, who Clay remembers fondly – despite his famously tricky temperament – as a hugely influential sire in both the States and across the world. When the Clay family sold Three Chimneys in 2014, Case stayed on at the farm as Chief Marketing Officer. During that time, the 2017 Horse of the Year Gun Runner was born and raised at Three Chimneys, racing for them too, before retiring to stand at the stud – where he is showng every sign of continuing the farm’s legacy. In December 2022, Case said farewell to Three Chimneys and set up his own bloodstock agency. He was appointed by Wathnan Racing through Olly Tait in August 2023 as American adviser and now racing manager. Clay sources horses for potential purchase to run in both the US and also on the dirt tracks of the Middle East for the Wathnan silks.
