| Frank Wooten Stables is a small private training stable owned and operated by Frankie and Daphne Wooten in Camden, South Carolina. The farm is nestled between the historic Camden Training Center, where Champions Ruffian and Forego trained, and Springdale Racecourse, home of the Carolina and Colonial Cups. We have 22 acres, three barns and numerous paddocks. In business since 1986, we have stressed quality over quanity, as we break only 25 to 35 yearlings a year. Each horse is treated as an individual, in hopes of producing their maximum potential. The yearlings come to us in the Fall (Sept/Oct), unbroken from various farms around the country. Most come from Kentucky. Because of our wonderful facilities, our yearlings get to gallop on both the dirt and turf. The training center also has a four horse starting gate where our yearlings get an early gate education. Yearlings that need more time can enjoy our wonderful farm and warm southern weather. Older horses also enjoy a quiet time on the farm, and leave here in the Spring feeling fresh and renewed. Most two year olds leave in late April or early May.
Since we began, Frank Wooten Stables has produced one Breeders Cup winner, One Eclipse award winner ‑ Champion Two year old colt, a million dollar earner and Grade One winner, plus multiple Graded stakes winners. |
