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.

Riverdee purchased the 3-year-old filly in March 2023. The French-bred daughter of Shalaa made four starts for Graham Motion. She finished second twice, including a strong effort in a maiden special weight at Laurel going 1 1/8 miles on the turf as a 2-year-old. She showed that day that she … Read More
The son of Nathaniel won twice in four starts over hurdles for Alan King (Valdez!) in Great Britain before venturing this way in 2024. Detours and roundabouts along the way, the British-bred dominated a 110 handicap hurdle at Fair Hill in May.
Imported from Great Britain for an American campaign, the son of Poet’s Voice burst onto the scene with two stakes wins in 2023. Trained by Jack Fisher, ridden by Bernie Dalton and managed by Sean for Martin Tedham and Wasdell Properties, Zabeel Champion won the Appleton Stakes on heavy ground … Read More
Purchased in 2018, the strong son of Include hit the board over hurdles but found his niche when switched to timber for Todd and Blair Wyatt. He opened his timber career with a second at Piedmont, a win at Elkridge-Harford, a win at the Grand National and a win at … Read More
What an addition to the team in 2023. The son of Into Mischief cost $600,000 as a yearling (he cost us significantly less), won on the turf at Kentucky Downs in 2021 and was beaten 4 ½ lengths in the Grade 2 Bourbon Stakes while with Hall of Famer Bill … Read More
The Irish-bred dominated a $50,000 maiden at Colonial Downs, drawing off to win by 14 lengths. We followed the Irish-bred since he made his debut last spring. Two seconds on the turf and two seconds over hurdles followed. An American-looking type, he stepped right into the routine since coming here. … Read More
The 5-year-old New York-bred won at Delaware Park for Riverdee and trainer Danielle Hodsdon in the summer and came back to finish third going 1 5/8 miles at Fair Hill. The son of Solomini made his hurdle debut at the Virginia Gold Cup in May. Looking forward to a summer … Read More
