Experience the prestige of being a stakes-winning owner.

Every horse can win at any track. If the conditions are right, there’s no limit on their earnings potential. The hard part is having them compete, consistently, at the highest levels of the sport. It’s at those top levels where the most money is earned, the most status is gained, and the greatest opportunities are born.

If you’ve struggled to find your way in the horse racing industry, Forza Bloodstock will help you rebuild and go further. Our team will help you win at higher levels, increase your earnings, while selecting and breeding the next generation of stakes horses.

  • “From Day 1, we have experienced straight talk, and more importantly, actions that matched. Our first horse, was hand picked by Forza out of a $30k claimer at Churchill, and in his first start for us he won a Starter $50k at Saratoga and then ran 2nd in a Gr.3.”

    Ken Jones - Dailey Double Racing

  • "We're off to a great start! Our first filly was picked out of a $30k claimer at Keeneland. With a move to Gulfstream, she finished 4th in stakes race first time back. We also claimed another filly at Churchill for $50k, out of a Gr.1 placed mare, that went on to win that race in tough company. Both have outstanding pedigrees and will be excellent broodmares when their racing career ends."

    Mark Cherry - Cerasus Thoroughbreds

  • “Bright, determined, innovative and passionate. Expertise guarded by a legacy of ethics and transparency which is so very difficult to discover in a multifaceted industry as the one we love. I recommend this team to exceed your expectations.”

I have since followed Mike and continue to be impressed with what he has achieved. His vision, skill set and true honest approach to people, as well as animals, will make his future endeavors endless. I look forward in following Michael on this journey and would recommend his advice and help to anyone in the industry.”

    Dean Lavy - International Manager, Al Shahania Stud, Qatar

Zayat Stables is delighted to be working with such a sharp, dedicated, and responsible young horseman."
