Tom Mullikin

Tom Mullikin is the General Manager of Sagamore Farm. He oversees the day-to-day mission of the Farm to breed, raise and race thoroughbreds that win at horse racing's highest level while maintaining and preserving the rich and storied tradition of the Sagamore Farm.

Mullikin has been in his current role since 2007 when he teamed with Sagamore Farm owner, Kevin Plank, to restore the historic property. The Farm is home to major winner Shared Account, a Grade I Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf World Champion.

A graduate of Frostburg State University, Mullikin worked in the information technology field for seven years with Gannett Co. Inc. But horse racing was his true passion, so he left Gannett in 2001 to pursue a career in the thoroughbred industry.

His initial job working with horses was at Carrie and Craig Brogden's Machmer Hall in Paris, Ky. The farm is home to Grade I winners Premium Tap and Meadow Breeze. Mullikin’s travels within the industry then took him to Edward P. Evans’ Spring Hill Farm in Casanova, Va. Consistently one of the nation’s leading breeders, Spring Hill Farm has bread and trained such great horses as Quality Road, Saint Liam, Raging Fever, Summer Colony, and many others.

Mullikin returned to Machmer Hall in Kentucky as assistant farm manager, before joining Plank four years ago at Sagamore Farm.

A Silver Spring, Md. native, Tom currently resides at Sagamore Farm with his wife, their five children and dog, Gator.
