About Us

Founded by Dan Murphy in 2020, Sea Warrior Stables, LLC is an equine-focused family business venture involved in the owning, racing, breeding, claiming, and selling of Thoroughbreds. Is there a meaning behind the name, Sea Warrior? Sure is! In Gaelic, Murphy means "sea warrior".  

The Murphys enjoy traveling as a family -- especially when it involves visiting a race track. When they're not watching the races, the Murphys can usually be found on the backside rubbing noses in the barn or on the backstretch watching early morning workouts.

Dan and Cathleen are the proud parents of Tommy (UofL '22) and Catie (USC '23). Tommy loved Louisville so much he made it his home and is putting his Equine Business degree to good work with West Point Thoroughbreds, Inc. Catie is currently attending law school and will graduate in '26. Dan and Cathleen reside in Jacksonville, Florida with their 2 cats and 2 dogs.  

See you at the races!
