MANAGER

Stewart NickelStewart Nickel

Winners Circle Partners is managed by Stewart Nickel, a horseman with 18 years experience owning, breeding and racing thoroughbreds. Highlighted by 2-time State Champion Smart ‘N Noble, Stewart has amassed over 100 wins and $2,000,000 in purses during his career as an owner. After co-founding and building a publicly-traded technology business over 11 years, Stewart exited the technology industry and has been focusing exclusively on thoroughbred horse racing since 2002. Running under “Memorial Stable”, his thoroughbreds currently compete at Mid-Atlantic racetracks including Laurel, Pimlico, Charles Town, Delaware Park and Philadelphia Park. Wanting to combine his passion for thoroughbreds, enjoyment of working with people and business experience, Stewart founded Winners Circle Partners and formed the initial Partnership in 2004.
