From 1994 until 2008, Janice and Robert McNair’s Stonerside Stable became one of the most vibrant forces in the Thoroughbred world--home to more than 275 racehorses, broodmares, yearlings and weanlings. From its inception in 1994, Stonerside won 72 Graded Stakes races including Grade l wins in the Belmont, Breeders' Cup Mile, Travers, Haskell, Hollywood Gold Cup, Cigar Mile, Carter, Swaps, Wood Memorial, Matriarch and Oak Leaf Stakes. Stonerside also finished second and third in the Kentucky Derby and was the co-breeder of Fusaichi Pegasus, winner of the Derby in 2000.  Stonerside became the only stable in history to sell three yearlings at auction in a single year for $3-million or more apiece; and in one memorable afternoon, saw two Stonerside-bred and raised horses win races on Breeders’ Cup day, including the $5-million Classic—America’s richest race at the time.  For two years running, Stonerside won the prestigious P.A.B. Widener Trophy as Kentucky’s leading breeder.  Racing and breeding Thoroughbreds proved to be the perfect combination of Janice’s background as an accomplished equestrian and Bob’s love of competitive sports, guided from the start by Houston bloodstock consultant John Adger.   After 15 years, the McNairs left the business due to the demands of owning the Houston Texans NFL team. It only took one phone call to sell the stable to the most powerful person in racing, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.  Robert was elected to membership in the Jockey Club, and to positions on the board of the Breeders’ Cup and the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association. He was awarded the Allen Bogan Memorial Award for outstanding service to the Texas Thoroughbred Association. Since his death in late 2018, Janice McNair has retained the former Stonerside Stallions, including Valor Farm residents Too Much Bling (in partnership with Valor’s Douglas Scharbauer), Congaree and Stonesider.
