Jeff Berry, a former MLB agent, has shifted his focus to horse racing and recently became involved in ownership, leading to Flying Mohawk’s surge into Derby contention. Berry’s passion for horse racing was nurtured by his father, who introduced him to the sport at a young age. He aims to make ownership in horse racing more accessible and family-oriented.

After leaving his position at CAA Sports, Berry joined the San Francisco Giants front office as a special advisor to Buster Posey. The Giants visited Turfway Park during their trip to Cincinnati, where they met Flying Mohawk. Berry’s vision for horse racing involves creating shared experiences between families, friends, and professional sports organizations, aligning with Jayson Werth’s mission with Icon Racing.

Berry’s involvement in horse racing has led to success, with Flying Mohawk qualifying for the Kentucky Derby. Despite being a turf horse, the decision was made to enter the Derby, showcasing the boldness and competitive spirit that Berry and his partners bring to the sport. Icon Racing, guided by Legion Bloodstock, aims to bring good people into horse racing and create unforgettable experiences for all involved.
