Jonabell Farm
Jonabell Farm was founded in 1954 by John A. Bell and his wife Jessica. The 800 acre farm is a Thoroughbred breeding farm located in Lexington, Kentucky. The Bells founded a farm in 1946 but moved operations to the current location.[1]
The farm produced over 200 stakes winners, 14 of those champions, including Damascus, Epitome, and the first American-bred to win the Epsom Derby with Never Say Die. Stallions that have stood at the farm include Triple Crown winner Affirmed, Smart Strike as well as Holy Bull. Affirmed is buried on the farm.[2]
In 2001, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum purchased the farm for his Darley Stud American division.
