Blackout Racing Stable was founded with a passion for thoroughbred racing and a vision of building a competitive and exciting racing program that brings people closer to the sport.

​

Our mission is to compete at a high level while creating an engaging and rewarding experience for our members and supporters.  From promising young prospects to seasoned competitors, each horse in the Blackout Racing program represents the thrill and tradition of thoroughbred racing. Our team closely follows every stage of a horse’s journey—from purchase and training to race day—sharing the excitement with our members and community.

​

Blackout Racing is built around more than just winning races. It’s about the experience of being part of the sport: watching a horse you support load into the gate, cheering down the stretch, and celebrating together in victory.

Blackout Barrel Co. is built on time in the barrel. Some of the whiskey we source is already well aged, and some we bring in younger and age ourselves, with releases aged 7 to 17 years. Many of our barrels are then re-barreled into a second cask to finish, like Batch 14, which spent 13 months in toasted Canton Cooperage barrels.

​

​Every barrel is tasted and chosen by hand, then bottled as a single barrel or a small batch in limited numbers for our members and retail partners. Some are bottled at barrel strength, and our first slow-proofed release is coming soon.

 

Join for priority access to our barrels and community events. Racing shares open occasionally—join the list to be first in line.
