Ken Wilkins has been named Director of Stallion Operations for Gary Broad's Walmac Farm, the farm announced Wednesday.
Wilkins previously served as stallion director at Spendthrift Farm and has held similar positions with Adena Springs and Vinery. He is also a past president of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Farm Managers' Club.
“We're thrilled to welcome Ken, who has vast knowledge and experience in the stallion market,” said Broad. “We're confident he'll help build on the strong foundation we have here as we look to a bright future and expanding our stallion roster.”
Upon his appointment, Wilkins expressed enthusiasm about joining the historic operation.
“I am excited and honored to step into this role at Walmac and eager to add another successful chapter to its storied past,” said Wilkins. “We will immediately seek to expand the roster with exciting young stallion prospects. I am also eager to see the progeny of the current stallions develop as we have weanlings, yearlings, and 2-year-olds–anything could happen!”
Walmac currently stands four young stallions–Core Beliefs, who is represented by his first crop to the races this year, Fulsome, Pappacap, and Pinehurst.
