Does Circle M Ranch Stables of 1940s still exist?

I'm trying to track down the ranch where Big Pebble was trained--does it still exist? If so, where? Address? Phone number?

Reason is part of genealogical research on my dad, who worked there in the early 40s.

Doesn't look like the same one, but thanks. I' sort of expecting the one I'm looking for to be in Kentucky somewhere (although not necessarily).

There was a Circle M Farm on the land where Darby Dan now sits (Old Frankfort Pike, Lexington, KY).

Perhaps someone at Darby Dan could offer helpful information for you, or the Keeneland Library. The latter sometimes has files on old farms.

Good luck!
