Rancho San Miguel:
A Respected California Breeding & Sales Mainstay

A steady, respected presence for West Coast breeders over the past quarter-century, Rancho San Miguel continues rising to the increasing challenges and changing landscape of the region’s Thoroughbred industry.

Under the stewardship of owners Tom and Nancy Clark since 2000, the 250-acre San Luis Obispo County farm has developed into one of California’s leading stallion stations, foal nurseries and auction consignors. Expert horse care, a skilled workforce and customer outreach are keys to the farm’s longevity and success.

OPEN-DOOR POLICY & ROUND-THE-CLOCK CARE

Nestled in the rolling hills of North Central California, approximately 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the farm’s mild year-round climate provides an ideal environment for raising Thoroughbred athletes.

More than two dozen workers ensure round-the-clock supervision and professional care of the equine residents, with Farm Manager Jenny Webber at the helm.

In addition to servicing approximately 20% of California’s mare population each year, Rancho San Miguel hosts an annual Open House & Stallion Show to educate current and prospective owners and breeders. The 2026 event is scheduled for Saturday, December 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

HOME OF LEADING SIRES, PROVEN VETERANS & PROMISING PROSPECTS

Rancho San Miguel is the proud home of several top California stallions, as well as proven veterans and up-and-coming standouts.

Anchoring the nine-horse roster is California’s dominant #1 sire: Collected.

The Pacific Classic (G1) winner by City Zip is the state’s leading sire of 2026 by winners, graded stakes winners, black-type winners, black-type horses and progeny earnings, with nearly $5 million banked by his offspring through mid-September –– best among all U.S. stallions standing outside Kentucky. His sire superlatives include 2026 Grade 1 winner Thought Process and 2025 Canada Horse of the Year Mansetti among the 25 stakes winners from his first five crops to race.

Ranking as California’s #1 First-Crop Sire of 2026 is Grade 1 winner Eight Rings, an Empire Maker half-brother to 2026 Santa Anita Handicap (G1) winner British Isles.

The farm also stands California’s #1 Second-Crop Sire, Mo Forza. The Grade 1-winning millionaire by Uncle Mo has already surpassed the benchmark of $1 million in progeny earnings.

Other veteran sires present diverse options and proven value for West Coast breeders.

Editorial, a winning War Front half-brother to Uncle Mo, maintains $79,000 average earnings per starter and 15% black-type horses.

Graded stakes winner Northern Causeway, by Giant’s Causeway, sires durability; his top 10 lifetime runners average 42 starts each.

New to the farm’s stallion barn in 2026 is another black-type son of Giant’s Causeway: Niagara Falls, whose pedigree boasts more than 90 stakes horses under his first four dams.

Rancho San Miguel is also bullish about the prospects of the farm’s younger stallions.

Undefeated Bolden, by leading California sire Square Eddie, will send out his initial crop of 2-year-olds in 2027.

Multiple graded stakes winner Brickyard Ride, the top runner by Clubhouse Ride, will be represented by his inaugural crop of yearlings next year.

And resident stallion The Street Fighter currently has his first runners on tap as a black-type performer by Street Boss.
