Riverdee Stable and Clancy Bloodstock Management have grown significantly in recent years, campaigning graded stakes winners over jumps and on the flat, in England and America.
Dark blue, two light blue hoops, red cap. Don’t forget the red cap! Riverdee Stable is named after a horse who excelled in five disciplines – flat racing, steeplechasing, eventing, showing and fox hunting. An overachiever, Riverdee is the model we strive to discover and campaign on the flat and over hurdles.
In 2023, Riverdee finished second in the owner’s standing in steeplechasing. Awakened won the Grade 1 Jonathan Sheppard at Saratoga and earned a finalist slot in the Eclipse Awards. Cool Jet won two novice stakes to help Riverdee climb to 19th on the all-time leaderboard. In all, Riverdee won 13 races for over $500,000.
In 2022, Riverdee won seven races for over $200,000 from a limited number of starters. Potus, Cool Jet and Awakened won big maiden races to promise bigger things in 2023. City Dreamer continued to ply his trade in the stakes division moving Riverdee up the ladder in career steeplechase earnings. That year’s earnings moved Riverdee past icons F. Eugene Dixon Jr., Mrs. Miles Valentine and Rokeby Stable, on the all-time steeplechase leaderboard. It’s an honor to be listed in the same sentence with steeplechasing stalwarts. I remember pulling on the gray and gold frogs of Rokeby silks to ride Senator Brady in the Imperial Cup at Aiken when I was a freshman in college. We finished second to another Rokeby runner. Oh, to have a win picture with those silks. I donned the pink and cerise hearts of Mrs. Miles Valentine, same thing, no win pictures, but an honor. As for F. Eugene Dixon and his wife Edie, well, they were integral in my riding career, providing my first Saratoga winner with To Ridley in 1994. Talk about a thrill.
In 2021, Riverdee won nine races including two stakes, from 37 starts for $248,700, cracking the top five on the National Steeplechase Association’s leading owner list for the third year in a row. We won our last five starts to end the season on a roll and went over $1 million in career steeplechase earnings, one of just 30 owners to reach that achievement in over 100 years.
In a Covid-shorted 2020 season, we won three races. In 2019, Riverdee won seven races, including four stakes, from 34 starts in England and America for nearly $400,000 in purses. In 2018, Riverdee won nine races from 55 starts, from Churchill Downs to Laurel to Callaway Gardens to Pennsylvania Hunt Cup. In 2017, we won 11 races from 63 starts for a solid 17 win percentage and 56 in the money percentage.
We have won or placed at Santa Anita, Saratoga, Keeneland, Woodbine, Far Hills, Colonial Cup, Cheltenham, Newbury, Doncaster and other premier tracks around the world. We have purchased, managed and/or raced graded stakes winners on the flat and over jumps, including horses who have won three Eclipse Awards.
