Gentry Brothers
Gentry Brothers Farm is a Thoroughbred racing and training stable owned by brothers Robert and Bruce Gentry until Bob's 2013 death.[1] The Gentry brothers have been involved in both quarter horse and Thoroughbred horse racing for over 35 years. The Gentrys maintained a 300-acre (120 ha) farm in Lexington, Kentucky as well as a 20,000-acre (8,100 ha) ranch in Dickens, Texas.[2] The brothers co-founded Heritage Place in Oklahoma City, a venue for selling quarterhorses.[3][4]

Their horses were estimated to have earned more than eight million dollars.[1] The Gentry brothers owned:
- Sweet Diva, owned by Robert[5] a stakes winner who set a track record at Remington Park

A full brother to Receiver was sold by the Gentrys for $400,000 at the 1997 Keeneland September yearling sale.
