Steve Jones, deeply rooted in harness racing from childhood through his family legacy at Cameo Hills Farm, has dedicated his life to breeding quality standardbred horses. Building on the foundation laid by his parents and brother, Steve emphasizes the importance of combining great bloodlines, conformation, and racetrack performance to achieve success. A pivotal moment for the Jones family was their investment in the legendary stallion Albatross in 1972, which became the financial and breeding cornerstone for Cameo Hills. Today, the farm boasts a large broodmare band, a strong yearling consignment, and ownership in top stallions like Huntsville and Chapter Seven, reflecting their commitment to quality and strategic breeding.

Despite industry trends, Cameo Hills has chosen to maintain its operations in New York rather than expanding into Kentucky, valuing direct oversight and hands-on management of their horses. Steve highlights the importance of family in the farm’s success, with his wife Kathy managing key aspects of the business and his sons Tyler and Jake representing the next generation of horsemen. As a respected leader in the harness racing community, Steve also serves on several industry boards, underscoring his lifelong passion and influence in the sport.
