262-Acre Siena Farm Offered For Sale, Partnerships To Remain Intact

Siena Farm, site of a boutique breeding operation which includes 262 acres located at 1651 Winchester Road outside of Lexington, Kentucky, is available for purchase according to a Thursday post on the Biederman Real Estate's website. As for Siena's racing partnerships, COO Ryan Smith confirmed that those will remain intact.

Founded by Anthony Manganaro with Nacho Patino and David Pope, Siena was named after the commercial real estate business in the Baltimore-Washington area which Manganaro built. The founder, who purchased what would become Siena Farm in 2007, passed away last August at the age of 79.

The Biederman post lists Siena's amenities, which include:

• 65 stalls in five barns, which are divided into 28 stalls for a foaling and broodmare division;
• 30 stalls for a yearling complex complete with Aqua Spa, Kraft Equiciser and yearling show area; a five-stall isolation barn and paddock area;
• Eight large fields and 29 paddocks; miles of diamond mesh/oak fencing; three miles of paved roadways; 2700 feet of dry stack stone fencing;
• A six-bedroom main residence; a 3,500 sq.ft. office with trophy room; a three-bedroom/two bath farm manager residence along with two additional employee residences and a pair of 2-person dormitories.

Once part of historic Clay Charolais Farm, Siena is located in Bourbon County and neighboring fixtures include Claiborne, Stone and Machmer Hall.

Partnerships with West Point Thoroughbreds and WinStar Farm became integral to Siena's success on the track as they bought into important horses like Always Dreaming and Flightline. Despite the sale of the property, there are no plans to discontinue these relationships.

“Preparing to sell the farm has been very difficult for us all, but the process and marketing material has reminded us how grateful and proud we are to have played a part in building this farm under Anthony's [Manganaro] vision,” said Ryan Smith. “Although our setting will be changing, we're very excited to continue our racing partnerships and keep the Siena name in horse racing.”
