Since founded, Sagamore Farm has held international recognition as a premier breeding and training ground in the thoroughbred industry. The farm's most famous equine resident was Native Dancer. Known to the public at large as the Galloping Grey Ghost, Native Dancer went 21 for 22 during his racing career from 1952 to 1954. Considered one of the greatest race horses of all time, he embodies all the farm was and will be. The owner was clear about his mission for the farm, saying simply, "We are looking for winners, period. That's our only goal."

Field Sport Concepts affiliates, Blackburn Architects and McKee Carson, provided project direction, visioning, and site design services for the restoration and renovation of the facilities at Sagamore to meet the needs of a modern equine facility. With a careful eye and a measured respect for the history of the farm, the work sought to reveal rather than create, with the recognition that the significance of Sagamore Farm is in the physical elements that constitute the farm and tie it to its past.
