Excellence inThoroughbred Racing
Beckman Racing Stables is committed to the highest standards of horse care, training, and competitive performance in the world of thoroughbred racing.
Led by D. Whitworth Beckman, a Louisville native with experience training alongside Hall of Fame trainers Todd Pletcher and Chad Brown
Our Mission
Founded in 2021 by D. Whitworth "Whit" Beckman, our stable represents the culmination of years of experience at the highest levels of thoroughbred racing. Growing up in Louisville, Whit began his career at the iconic Churchill Downs, where he developed his deep understanding of the sport.
His journey took him to work as an assistant to Hall of Fame trainers Todd Pletcher and Chad Brown, gaining invaluable experience that shaped his training philosophy. He also expanded his expertise internationally with experience in Saudi Arabia before establishing his own stable.
Our success speaks for itself: in 2023, we celebrated our first stakes winner with Harlan Estate, followed by our breakthrough Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes winner, Honor Marie, in November. Honor Marie's victory not only marked our first graded stakes win but also established him as a promising 2024 Kentucky Derby prospect. These achievements represent the foundation of our commitment to excellence in thoroughbred racing.
