Doug O’Neill
Doug O’Neill is an American Thoroughbred horse trainer in California, where he trained the 2012 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, I’ll Have Another, and 2016 Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist.
Doug is headed back to the Kentucky Derby this year with Hot Rod Charlie. But before the Run for the Roses, we caught up with him at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, CA, where we chatted about the past, present and future of his career in horse racing.
Season 1, Episode 2
Live Cover
Unlike other breeds of horses, thoroughbred mares must be serviced by live cover. That means when your mare is ready for breeding, you must bring her to the stallion to be bred.
Each year hundreds of breeding facilities balance the delicate cycle of scheduling and standing stallions to assure the best possible chance your mare is successfully covered in the short time it’s there.
In this episode we visit Marth Jane Mulholland of Mulholland Spring Farm and Spendthrift Farms in Lexington Kentucky, for a firsthand look at how live breeding is done and how it produces some of the best racing thoroughbreds in the industry.
