"We invite you to become a part of our team.

Whatever your needs . . .

from foaling to the winner’s circle,

we’ll be with you every step of the way."

AbraCadabra Farms began as a modest 20-acre Thoroughbred facility, founded in 1982 by Barry and Tiki Berkelhammer. With success came the need for expansion and in 1996, Barry and longtime associate Gary Mottola purchased the former Lucas Farm on 150 acres in south Marion County. Before long, AbraCadabra Farms was on the map turning out some of the best racehorses in the country, including five Kentucky Derby and six Breeders’ Cup contenders. Today, the Ocala farm is a 240-acre state of the art racehorse operation and remains among the premier training facilities in the country. Experiencing steady growth over the years has led the Berkelhammers successfully through all facets of the industry, from breeding and raising foals to the sales ring and the racetrack.

“Initially, pinhooking was the driving force of our business and is where we made our mark. Selecting individuals for the two-year-old sales who have gone on to become successful racehorses has been our best form of advertising.”

“By proving we could sell a “good horse” our operation has reached several positive turning points throughout the past two decades. Top graduates from our Program include 30 Graded stakes performers and winners of more than $22 million.”
