Trainer Bio

Tim Yakteen, 45 began working and learning from racing greats and Hall of Famers, Charlie Whittingham and Bob Baffert.

Yakteen, born in Germany and raised in a small Bavarian town there, moved to the United States 27 years ago following his high school graduation to join an older sister who lived in Cypress, CA. He earned a two-year degree at Cypress then rejoined the Baffert barn full time which began an exciting ride for Yakteen, who was able to travel the world during two stints with Baffert sandwiched around a six-year period with Whittingham from 1991-97.

Tim Yakteen started on his own in September, 2004. Yakteen’s breakthrough horse was Sabiango, a German-bred with which he won the Kentucky Cup Turf Handicap only afew weeks into his new role.

Yakteen also enjoyed turf success with Stratham, anIrish-bred colt who won stakes at the Oak Tree, Santa Anita, and Hollywood Park meets in 2005 and 2006.

Yakteen lives in Monrovia with his wife, HRTV analyst Millie Ball, and their two young sons, Sam and Ben.

Tim won his first Grade 1 stake on July 28, 2013 when Points Offthebench won the Bing Crosby Stakes at Del Mar for owners,  Donnie and Martin and Charles V. Crevier.  He went on to win the G1 Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes. Points Offthebench was awarded the Eclipse as 2013 Champion Male Sprinter.
