Mark E. Casse Biography

Mark E. Casse is one of the most popular and richest Trainer who was born on February 14, 1961 in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. Casse was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on February 14, 1961 in the family of Norman Casse. He was raised at Ocala, Florida where his father was the owner of Cardinal Hill Farm and was one of the founding members of the Ocala Breeders Sales Company. The brothers of Casse include John Casse and Justin Casse, who are also active in the racing business. At the age of eight, Casse accompanied his father to the spring race at the first Woodbine Racetrack. In 1973, the father and son went for a visit to Churchill Downs and saw Secretariat take home in the 2003 Kentucky Derby.

The year 1999 was the time Casse worked with his debut Sovereign Award winning horse, Exciting Story, a the champion colt of two years old. The following year, Exciting Story would also bring Casse the first Grade I stakes win, the Metropolitan Handicap, at odds of 56-1. The following one, Casse captured his first Woodbine championship in training with the score of 69 wins. One of his stakes winners were Added Edge, who was named Canada’s two-year-old champion.

Casse had developed a reputation for training good two-year-olds and selling them once they won, which kept him from winning most major races. This started to change around 2005 as Casse’s client list started to grow. Casse earned his first Sovereign Award for outstanding trainer in 2005, and had his first Kentucky Derby starter, Seaside Retreat. The next year, his horses won eleven stakes races, a personal best, including the Woodbine Oaks, a prestigious race for Canadian-bred three-year-old fillies.

In 2007, Casse won his second Woodbine training title and second straight Sovereign Award. He trained his first Canadian Horse of the Year, Sealy Hill, who won the Canadian Triple Tiara and several other stakes races. In 2008, Sealy Hill would finish second in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf and was eventually inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. Casse earned his 1,000th win on August 9, 2008 at Woodbine with Laragh.

In the late 1990s, Casse became the private trainer of Harry Mangurian and ran Mockingbird Farm which was at the time home to more than 900 horses in the Ocala region. Mangurian disposed of the majority of his horse’s stock between 2000 and 1999 and the farm was purchased from Eugene Melnyk, who renamed it Winding Oaks and become one of Casse’s biggest clients. Casse officially moved his centre for operations at Woodbine Racetrack in 1998 though the track had been operating there for a few years. Since his move from Canada, Casse has won an incredible nine Sovereign Awards as Canada’s top trainer.
