DON'T TELL MY WIFE STABLES

TEAM

Kirk has been involved in the thoroughbred business for 30 years. His passion for the Sport originally came from being involved in his father’s racing operation. In order to learn the business from the ground up Kirk spent several months at Louisiana Downs in 1992 where he worked as a groom and consulted with trainers.

​

After his tenure at Louisiana Downs Kirk has stayed involved in the family’s racing and breeding operation. In March of 2010 he co-founded Don’t Tell My Wife Stables with the goal of allowing individuals from all walks of life to enjoy the thrills and excitement of owning a piece of a thoroughbred race horse.

​

Kirk is a co-manager of the company’s partnerships, and resides in Fort Worth, TX with his wife Kelley and two daughters.

Rob found his passion for thoroughbred racing in high school when he worked summers as a mutual clerk at Saratoga Race Course.

​

Over the years his love for the Sport and Saratoga finally led him to the ownership side of the business, and was instrumental in co-founding Don’t Tell My Wife Stables.

​

Mr. Slack is also a co-manager of the company’s partnerships, and resides in Lake George, NY with his wife Donna.
