Discover the remarkable journey of Rodolphe Brisset, a seasoned horse trainer with a wealth of experience. From his beginnings in Tours, France, to his prestigious tenure with Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott in Kentucky, Rodolphe's dedication to the world of horse racing is unparalleled.
Rodolphe Brisset brings more than three decades of international Thoroughbred experience to Brisset Racing, combining a foundation in European racing with years spent working at the highest levels of the sport in the United States.
Rodolphe began riding Thoroughbreds in his native France at age 12 and later attended jockey school, riding his first winner in 1999. His early career included time with the Aga Khan operation and trainer Alain de Royer-Dupré before his focus shifted from riding to training.
After relocating to Kentucky in 2005, Rodolphe worked for Patrick Biancone before joining Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott in 2007. He spent the next decade with the Mott stable, gaining extensive experience developing and managing elite racehorses across the country.
In 2017, Rodolphe launched R. Brisset Thoroughbred Racing Stables, LLC, followed by RB Bloodstock LLC, which provides clients with guidance in bloodstock selection, purchasing, sales, and racing prospects.
Today, Brisset Racing operates with an emphasis on individualized horsemanship, thoughtful development, and quality over quantity. Rodolphe’s international background and extensive experience allow the team to adapt its program to the needs of each horse rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rodolphe and his wife, Brooke, also own September Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, which supports their racing and breeding operation.

The Brisset Racing & September Farm Legacy
In 2015, Rodolphe met Brooke at Payson Park, their winter training base. The couple got engaged in November 2016 and married in January 2017. Brooke has played a vital role in the success of their business while balancing family life as a "super mom."
In July 2020, they purchased September Farm in Versailles, Kentucky. The farm serves as a private breeding operation for their own mares while also providing services to clients supporting Brisset Racing. Their approach is built on quality over quantity, maintaining around 60 horses to ensure individualized attention, training, and care. Drawing from Rodolphe’s vast international experience, the program emphasizes adaptability, reading each horse’s needs to maximize its potential.
Beyond racing, Brooke and September Farm are deeply committed to Thoroughbred retirement and giving back to the Versailles, KY community. When he’s not at the barn, Rodolphe enjoys golf—both playing and watching.
​
His philosophy in life and racing is simple yet powerful:
​
“You can talk all you want, but you can’t change the past—only your future.”

With a lifetime in the industry and a relentless drive for excellence, Rodolphe Brisset continues to build a legacy, one horse at a time.
