Member of the Month
R.S. Evans
Robert Evans knows a thing or two about building dynasties. His father, Thomas M. Evans, and late brother, Ned, were successful owners and breeders, but Robert has matched his family members’ accomplishments. Owner of 2014 Belmont Stakes (gr. I) winner Tonalist, a finalist for last year’s champion older male Eclipse Award, Evans also bred graded stakes winner Unitarian to remain on top of the equine game.
