Great Horse is a private club in Hampden, Massachusetts, where everyone will feel completely at home in our opulent mountain retreat. Our members enjoy world‑class golf and unparalleled clubhouse amenities such as the outdoor pool, private spa, fitness center, golf simulators, tennis courts, and the restaurant and bar. It is different at Great Horse.The Story Behind the NameAs one of the most sought‑after breeders in the nation, the Antonacci family has been synonymous with racing greatness and integrity for over 50 years. Their involvement as owners and breeders in five Hambletonian Champions with some of the greatest racehorses the sport has ever seen makes them well‑known on harness racing's biggest stages. To reflect this proud history, they selected Great Horse, English for "Gran Cavallo," the title of Leonardo Da Vinci's magnificent horse statue.Sous Chef Position SummaryThe Sous Chef serves as the second in command of the kitchen.
