==Thoroughbred racing==
The Firestones raced horses in the United States and in Europe. Bertram Firestone bought Catoctin Stud in Waterford, Virginia in 1973 and in 1991 he and Diana acquired Newstead Farm. For racing in Europe, they operated the 1,200 acre Gilltown Stud in Kilcullen, County Kildare, Ireland near the famous Curragh which they sold in 1989 to the Aga Khan IV for $14.2 million.
Among their many successes in Thoroughbred racing, in 1980, the Firestone's Hall of Fame inductee Genuine Risk〔(National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame )〕 became only the second filly to ever win the Kentucky Derby,〔(The Palm Beach Post - September 4, 1981 )〕 They also bred and raced Secretariat's son, General Assembly whose Saratoga track record time in winning the 1979 Travers Stakes still stands. Trained by Dermot Weld, the Firestones' Blue Wind won the 1981 Epsom Oaks and Flash of Steel won the 1986 Irish 2000 Guineas. In 1982 they won the Japan Cup with Half Iced.
