[1] Adena Springs has won the Canadian Sovereign Award for Outstanding Breeder eight times, plus four earlier wins under Stronach's own name.
Famous homebreds include Breeders' Cup Classic winner Awesome Again and his best son, Horse of the Year Ghostzapper, both of whom stand at Adena.
The Florida facility now has 3,800 acres (1,500 ha) and in addition to housing several stallions, it is where the young Thoroughbreds begin their race training.
[6] The original concept for opening a stud farm in Canada was to produce horses deemed competitive on the international market.
[3] In February 2014, Adena Springs purchased an undisclosed interest in Mucho Macho Man, who at the time was still racing, and was retired in July of that year.
Both his sire, Macho Uno, and his dam, Ponche de Leona, were owned by Adena Springs at the time of mating; the pregnant mare was subsequently purchased by John and Carole Rio of Florida, where Mucho Macho Man was foaled, and thus the Rios are officially listed as his breeders.
