Warfield was named by Thoroughbred Heritage as “one of the most important early figures in Kentucky racing and breeding” and was a founder of the Lexington Jockey Club. A businessman, farmer, medical practitioner, and professor of surgery and obstetrics, he delivered Mary Todd Lincoln. In 1945, his stud farm, the Meadows, became a residential subdivision of that name in the Lexington suburbs. His graceful sixteen-room brick mansion was razed in 1960.
