Three Diamonds Finds Success On and Off Track

Since the early 2000s, Three Diamonds Farm has continued to increase their footprint in the Thoroughbred industry. Owned by the Wycoff family, the operation now includes racing, breeding, sales, and pinhooking ventures. With recent successes on the track at Saratoga Race Course, BloodHorse Marketwatch spoke to Three Diamonds’ managing partner, Jordan Wycoff, about how his family’s farm has branched out through the years and how they’ve managed to achieve success in almost every facet of the business.

MarketWatch: When did you start racing under the name Three Diamonds Farm?

Jordan Wycoff: We started racing in the early 2000s mostly in Maryland with Mike Trombetta. From our background, both my parents were in the show jumping world as kids and my father had his training license way back in the day. He would take horses off the track and try to retrain them to be jumpers. He took a hiatus until early 2000 when we bought a couple 2-year-olds and kept them with Trombetta at Fair Hill. It grew from there. We’ve been running with Mike Maker now about 10 years since we wanted to get bigger and run in New York.

Since then we’ve slowly branched out. We have a handful of broodmares and mostly breed to sell but we do race homebreds. We’re also very active in pinhooking yearlings to 2-year-olds. Again, those we don’t sell we will race. We also pinhook some weanlings to yearlings as well. My dad and I have a hand in all aspects of the market fortunately or unfortunately.

MW: Do you have your own farm under the Three Diamonds name or are your horses spread across several venues?
