How far in advance can I make a reservation?
Reservations can be made a year in advance of the day of your arrival.

๐ ๐ด It`s another Hall of Champions Birthday! Two-Time Steeplechase Timber Horse of the Year, Andi`Amu, celebrates his 14th birthday today! ๐
Andiโamu, sired by Walk in the Park (IRE) in 2010, began his flat racing career in France as a two year old before switching to jump racing in the United Kingdom a year later.
In 2015, he was purchased by Ballybristol Farm LLC and brought to the United States, where he began his steeplechase career over hurdles. He made the switch to timber racing in 2018, where his keen jumping ability, stamina, and strong gallop made him a formidable force over fences.
Andiโamu was retired to the Kentucky Horse Parkโs Hall of Champions in 2023, with a record of 49 starts, 15 firsts, (10 In Stakes races) 12 seconds and five-thirds. His lifetime earnings of $544,400 is impressive considering the shorter race seasons and lower purses for timber races.
