Lane's End, owned by Mr. and Mrs. William S. Farish, is one of the world's premier Thoroughbred farms encompassing approximately 2,000 acres in Woodford County in the heart of Central Kentucky. In addition to the acreage in Woodford County, Lane's End leases an additional thousand acres in Fayette County known as our Oak Tree Division and in Texas we operate Lane's End Texas near Hempstead. Currently standing at stud at Lane's End are such leading sires as A.P. INDY, KINGMAMBO, SMART STRIKE, and LANGFUHR.

A native of Houston, Texas, Will Farish is a lifelong horseman who raced his first stakes winner, KASKASKIA, in 1967 and has since raced more than 145 stakes winners and bred more than 245 stakes winners, including the 2003 Horse of the Year MINESHAFT, the 1992 Horse of the Year A.P. INDY, 1999 Horse of the Year CHARISMATIC, and Champion LEMON DROP KID. He was the first breeder since A. J. Alexander in 1880 to breed or co-breed two horses (CHARISMATIC and LEMON DROP KID) who combined to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont in the same year. In 1992 and in 1999 he was honored with an Eclipse Award as the year's leading breeder.
