California owner Waranch dies at 78

Posted: Thursday, January 07, 2010 5:19 PM

Ronald Waranch, a long-time owner who raced multiple graded stakes winner and Central Kentucky sire Northern Afleet in a partnership, died on Wednesday. He was 78.

Waranch, a successful homebuilder and entrepreneur in Southern California, bought Northern Afleet for $55,000 in the 1994 Keeneland September yearling sale and raced him with Greg Anderson.

Trained by David Hofmans, Northern Afleet won the 1997 San Fernando Breeders’ Cup Stakes (G2), San Carlos Handicap (G2), and San Diego Hanidcap (G3).

Waranch retained shares in Northern Afleet’s stud career and raced some of his offspring, including 2005 Palos Verdes Handicap (G2) winner Saint Afleet and ’09 Oceanside Stakes winner Afleet Eagle.

Waranch also won the California Oaks last year with Will O Way in a partnership with Holly and David Wilson. Waranch and the Wilsons were long-time clients of trainer Vladimir Cerin.

“I trained for him more than 20 years,” Cerin said. “He fired me four times, and he’d usually take me out to breakfast when he did it. One time I asked him if he could fire me first, so we could order. We became close friends through the years.”

A native of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Waranch was a 2002 inductee of the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans as a role model for overcoming humble beginnings.
