My name is Ryan Patterson and I own Graded Stakes Limited. I’ve been a horse racing fan since I was a child, frequently visiting my local tracks, River Downs and Turfway Park. I’m currently attending the University of Cincinnati. I hope to own horses someday. My dream is to win the Kentucky Derby. Might as well dream big, right?!
The main focus of my blog is to discuss horse racing news and to cover stakes races. My work has been published in Stride Magazine and on the Blood-Horse website. I also work as a consultant for Southcoast Bloodstock and my bloodstock writings have been featured in ads for stallions like Concord Point.
Some of my other interests include politics, college football, college basketball, MLB and the NFL. I’m a die hard supporter of my home town football team, the Cincinnati Bearcats. I grew up rooting for the Maryland Terrapins in basketball (don’t ask why), and I am now a fan of the Memphis Grizzlies as they drafted my all time favorite Maryland player, PG Greivis Vasquez. Other teams I root for are the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds.
I contribute regularly to several other publications. Please send me an email if you are interested in my free lance writing services or placing an advertisement on this site.
