About Us

John Forma has been in the thoroughbred business over fifty years.  At age 13, his mother took him to the Aqueduct Racetrack.  That outing impressed into his young mind.  Everything about the experience —the sights, the sounds, the fans, the excitement, and the horses— were simply captivating.  He’s been hooked ever since.

In 1977 John established Pucker Street Farm in Warrensburg, NY.  The grounds and stables were designed for breeding and training high-end horses.  For many years, the farm provided thoroughbreds to the NY-Bred program. 

Today, the horses are boarded at McMahon of Saratoga in New York, but the vision is the same. Horses are thoughtfully bred and trained to be top-competing racers and prized breeders.

John is based in Portsmouth, NH.  Feel free to get in touch with John to talk shop or just shoot the breeze.  He, along with his son Joe and daughter Nicole, have kept a traditional and personal approach to the business.
