Using his financial clout and good business sense to gain the ownership of two main contenders of Breedes Cup Classis - Powered By  Dodge. Having two main contenders  competing in the world championship definately reflects the great sense in horse racing industry.

Curlin beating Hard Spun by 4-1/2 lengths in the $5million championship makes the Padua Stables once again in the limelight of breeding.

Satish had been eagerly awaiting for the Breeders Cup and Curlin winning the race made him proud again as if a son make proud to his father.

In 1997, Satish and Anne bought the first 6 Padua horses at the Keeneland July Summer Yearling Sale. Their dream to win races worldwide continued with many purchases of yearlings and racing fillies from around the world. During this time in early 1998, the Sanans bought their farm in Ocala, FL, and built a state of the art training center in order to realize the vision of the best in quality and service to be provided in the training of their horses.

Over the next 3 years, Padua Stables began to turn these dreams into a reality, winning Grade 1 races with Yes It’s True and Cash Run, who won the first Breeders’ Cup for Padua Stables, when she captured the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies in 1999. The new millennium also marked a first for Padua, as we stood our first studs, and have continued to expand our breeding operation since. The dreams and vision of Padua continue to be passed down in the family, as Nadia and Sasha Sanan pursue the passion of horses into the next millennium for the family and the stable.
