About Mark Hennig
American Thoroughbred horse racing trainer Mark A. Hennig, who was born on April 10, 1965, is thought to have a net worth of $1.5 million. Mansfield, Ohio, is where Mark Hennig was born. He spent two years at Ohio State studying veterinary medicine before beginning his career in thoroughbred racing as a youngster working for his father John.
Before being hired by D. Wayne Lukas in 1987, he trained with Neil Howard in New York, then Jack Van Berg in California. He managed the Lukas divisions in Kentucky and Florida until 1992, when Barry Irwin gave him the opportunity to go out on his own by hiring him as a semi-private trainer for Team Valor.
At Hollywood Park in July 1992, he guided Arabian Ace to his first victory as a trainer of record.
Achieving the Top:
Star of Cozzene’s victory in the San Gabriel Handicap on January 1, 1993 at Santa Anita marked the beginning of his first full year as a trainer. With $4,168,857 in earnings from 19 stakes races, 6 of which were graded, including the Santa Anita Derby(G1) with Personal Hope and the Arlington Million(G1) with Star of Cozzene, he was ranked ninth in the country.
The Public:
He relocated to New York in 1995 and established a public stable, partly thanks to the help of owner Edward P. Evans, who has allowed him to maintain a prosperous stable and consistently rank among the top trainers in the country. Jazzy, a starter in the 2007 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, is one of the horses he still trains for Team Valor. Unfortunately, Jazzy came in last, thus after 10 attempts, Hennig has yet to win a Breeders’ Cup.
Present success
Barcola, Haddie Be Good, Giant Wrecker, Law Enforcement, La Dolce Vita, Laurentide Ice, and Lauren’s Tizzy are among his other 2007 stakes wins, in addition to Jazzy.
Raging Fever, Vergennes, Colonial Minstrel, Gold Mover, Eddington, Summer Colony, Gygistar, and Mighty Forum are a few of his graded stakes victories to date. Hennig’s runners had amassed more than $50 million in rewards throughout their 14 years of training. Hennig’s barn earned $2,482,505 from 50 victories from 346 starts as of October 7, 2007.
Win #1000:
On November 10, 2007, Dinner Break won the sixth race at the Meadowlands, giving Hennig his 1000th career victory.

Along with his wife Rosemary, Taylor, Jason, and stepchildren Brooke, Brandon, and Brian, he resides in Garden City, New York. Hennig explained that while he’s not at the track, “I’ll be attending my kids’ games. Although I play a little golf in Florida during the winter, spending time with my family is actually my pastime.”
For 26 years in a row, Mark has won more than $1 million. Mark Hennig’s net worth is projected to reach $1.5 million as of 2023. Almost 100 graded stakes winners and over $70 million in earnings came from horses trained by Hennig.
