Gainesway Farm is an American Thoroughbred horse breeding business in Lexington, Kentucky. It was originally called Greentree Farms.
The 1,500 acre (6 km²) property has been home to sires such as Youth and Exceller and numerous others who are buried on the property. The tradition-bound land echoes the past, present and future of countless Thoroughbred Champions including the first Derby winner Aristides in 1875. Among the current stallion roster is Afleet Alex and Birdstone.
In 1995, under the name Gainesway Stable, owner Graham Beck partnered with Robert and Beverly Lewis and William T. Young of Overbrook Farm in the ownership and racing of Timber Country who won the 1994 Breeders' Cup Juvenile and 1995 Preakness Stakes.
