Fred Hertrich
March Member of the Month
Over the last six months, the name of Fred W. Hertrich III has become synonymous with the Breeders’ Cup. In September 2017, the Delaware-based horseman was elected to the chairmanship of the Breeders’ Cup Board of Directors. On November 3, undefeated Rushing Hall, bred in Kentucky by Hertrich and John Fielding, captured the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1T) at Del Mar.
President of the Hertrich Family of Automobile Dealerships, Hertrich entered the equine industry through Standardbreds. He formed a now-defunct Thoroughbred partnership with Ben Walden Jr., as well as late horsemen Dr. Phil McCarthy and Lou Guida, then purchased Watercress Farm near Georgetown, Kentucky. Ever since, he has focused on Thoroughbreds. Alone or in partnership, Hertrich has bred grade/group 1 winners Boys at Tosconova, Street Boss, and Shamardal, among other stakes winners.
