Haras Santa Maria de Araras is a Thoroughbred racehorse breeding and training farm in Brazil. It is one of the most successful breeders of racehorses in Brazilian history.[1]

History

[edit]

Haras Santa Maria de Araras was founded in 1965 when Julio Raphael de Aragão Bozano purchased land in the town of Araras, in the state of Rio de Janeiro.[2]

The Haras bred its first Group 1 winner in 1972, Freddy Boy, winner of the 1975 Grande Prêmio Taça de Ouro.[2][3] After the victory, breeding was moved to Teresópolis and the stallion Sabinus, winner of the Grande Prêmio Cruzeiro do Sul, was acquired. A training center was built near the breeding farm at this time.[2]

In 1983, a new installation was established in São José dos Pinhais in the state of Paraná. Another stud was later established in Bagé in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.[2]

In 1984, the Haras began an annual sale in partnership with Haras Fazenda Mondesir.[4]

The Haras first purchased additional property in Argentina in 1976, and today also conducts breeding in Argentina at a property purchased in the 1990s on the former land of Haras Los Robles.[5][6]

In 2022, the Haras started sponsoring the Rio de Janeiro Triple Crown races at the Hipódromo da Gávea, with the agreement to last until 2024.[7]
