Pike Racing To Relocate Operations To Highlander Training Center

[Wandering Eyes]

As of July 1, two highly respected entities in Thoroughbred training and racing are joining forces as Pike Racing will be relocating to Highlander Training Center in Sulphur Springs, Texas, the facility said in a release yesterday.

Pike Racing, owned by Al and Salley Pike, has become a fixture at the two-year-olds in training sales, and their graduates have experienced success in the sales ring and at the racetrack.

A native Texan from Palestine, Al Pike said he has been eager “to come back to Texas” for years. “Salley and I are both Texans, and it's great to be able to come home. I think this is going to work perfectly, for both Highlander and for us.”

“We have fielded numerous requests from clients to add preparing horses for two-year-old in-training sales to our operations,” said Jeff Hooper, Chairman & CEO of Highlander. “There is a market demand for premium service in this sector, and the opportunity to align with Al and Salley for them to base their operations here at Highlander was a perfect fit.”
