Aces Racing, co-founded by Jordan Markwell and Ashley Lamb in 2024 in partnership with Woolsey’s longtime trainer Mike Tomlinson, aims to carry on Woosley’s legacy, love of racing and thoroughbreds by building a brand founded in bringing people together, spreading knowledge, having fun and cultivating lasting relationships around the sport of racing.
