Denali Stud, Owner

Craig Bandoroff and his wife, Holly,  are the founders of Denali Stud which recently celebrated its 30 year anniversary.  Denali Stud is a thoroughbred nursery in Bourbon County, Kentucky and a leading consignor of thoroughbreds at public auction.  The farm has raised Kentucky Derby Winner Animal Kingdom and Belmont Stakes winner, Tapwrit amongst many other Grade 1 stakes winners.

Today Denali Stud is run and managed by their son, Conrad, as Craig and Holly have stepped back from day to day involvement.  Craig is a member of The Jockey Club and a board member of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association.   The Bandoroff’s have two daughters, Katherine and Isabel who have professional careers in nursing and finance, respectively.
