Keeneland Presents the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes W elcome to the 90th running of the $750,000 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1), the richest race of the Spring Meet at Keeneland Race Course and an important stop for 3-year-old Thoroughbreds who are on the road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) at Churchill Downs. The 1 1/8-mile race, named for the famous Bluegrass region of Central Kentucky, will be run on April 12, three weeks before the Kentucky Derby. In April 1937, the Blue Grass Stakes made its debut at Keeneland during the track’s first Spring Meet and was one of four stakes races held during 11 days of racing. On April 29, Maxwell Howard’s In 1937, Fencing won the first Blue Grass Stakes Fencing, a gelding by Chance Shot held at Keeneland. ridden by Jack Westrope for trainer Earle Sande, defeated five rivals to win the $5,000-added event over Col. E.R. Bradley’s favored entry of Billionaire and Brooklyn. Since then, a total of 10 winners of the Blue Grass have won the Kentucky Derby and another nine horses who ran in the race have won the Run for the Roses. Among the Blue Grass-Kentucky Derby winners are some of the most famous Thoroughbreds in history, including Racing Hall of Fame members Northern Dancer (the 1964 winner), Riva Ridge (1972) and Spectacular Bid (1979) Prior to its Keeneland debut, the Blue Grass was first run in 1911 at the old Kentucky Association track near downtown Lexington. 2014 TOYOTA BLUE GRASS STAKES 3 The race quickly proved to be an important contest for 3-year-olds as Blue Grass second-place finishers Meridian (1911), Donerail (1913) and Behave Yourself (1921) went on to win the Kentucky Derby. In 1926, the final year the race was held at the Kentucky Association track, Bubbling Over became the first horse to win the Blue Grass and the Kentucky Derby. Charles E. Fipke celebrated the performance with Eclipse Award-winning jockey Julien Leparoux, who scored his first win in the race. When the closure of the Kentucky Association track left Central Kentucky without a race track, a group of Central Kentucky breeders went to work. In 1935, they founded the Keeneland Association, purchased 147 1/2 acres on Versailles Pike from horseman J.O. “Jack” Keene Kentucky-bred Java’s War is a homebred racing for Charles E. and set out to create a Fipke of British Columbia.

Toyota: Race’s sponsor is valued member of Central Kentucky I n 1957, the year Round Table won the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, Toyota established a presence in the U.S. by setting up shop in a former Rambler dealership in Hollywood, Calif. Sales began in 1958 and totaled 288 vehicles: 287 Toyopet Crown sedans and one Land Cruiser. Over the next several years, Toyota vehicles became so popular in this country that the Japanese automaker began to build manufacturing plants across the U.S. In the 1980s, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) built a plant in nearby Georgetown and in 1988 began producing the popular Camry. In 1996, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, five area Toyota dealerships and Toyota Motor Sales in Cincinnati teamed up to sponsor the 6 2014 TOYOTA BLUE GRASS STAKES Blue Grass Stakes, marking Toyota’s first sponsorship of a horse race. As part of the sponsorship agreement, Keeneland replaces vehicles in its fleet with Toyotas. Toyota’s $5.94 billion, stateof-the-art automotive complex in Georgetown is the company’s largest vehicle manufacturing facility in North America. The Georgetown facility has the capacity to produce 500,000 vehicles and 600,000 engines annually with nearly 7,000 full-time employees. Toyota’s Kentuckymade products include the Camry, America’s No. 1 selling car for more than a decade, as well as the Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza. Additionally, over 100 suppliers located in Kentucky support Toyota’s manufacturing operation in the Bluegrass. In 2015, Toyota Kentucky will produce its first U.S.-made Lexus, generating 750 new jobs and adding 50,000 units to the plant’s robust manufacturing output. To support the new dedicated assembly line, Toyota is investing $360 million in the Georgetown plant. Initially, Toyota hired team members from nearly every one of Kentucky’s 120 counties and continues its philosophy of giving back to the communities where team members live. More than $45 million has been donated by Toyota’s Kentucky plant to nonprofit organizations throughout the state.

Davis (G3); 8th TVG Summer (G2) Pedigree note: Half-brother to multiple Canadian champion Inish Glora. Owner: Bear Stables Danny Dion earned the nickname “Bear” long ago for what he said was his propensity to “growl like a bear” when he was lifting large logs back in his native Quebec. The name stuck and became the inspiration for Bear Stables, Dion’s Thoroughbred operation he started in 2002. Bear Stables began in a bar when Dion bought a horse from a friend for $7,000. Six years later, in 2008, Bear Stables won Canada’s Sovereign Award as outstanding owner. That same year, Bear Stables’ Fatal Bullet won the Sovereign Award as top sprinter and Horse of the Year following a second-place finish in the Sentient Flight Group Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1), and millionaire Bear Now was named champion older mare. Dion incorporates “Bear” into the names of many of his horses. In addition to the aforementioned champions Fatal Bullet and Bear Now, he has campaigned graded stakes winners Bear Tough Guy, Bear Tough Tiger, Bear No Joke and Part the Seas. Born in 1960 in Chidougamau, Quebec, Dion lives in Alberta. In 1988, he founded Bear Slashing, Ltd., Canada’s largest land-clearing and site preparation company. Bear Slashing pioneered the use of mulching equipment in the oil and gas industry as an efficient, effective, environmentally friendly land-clearing process. Dion’s stable is based at Woodbine in Toronto. His principal trainer is Reade Baker. Bear Stables’ previous starter in the Toyota Blue Grass: Year Horse Finish 2008 Kentucky Bear 3rd 10 2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES Trainer: Reade Baker Canadian Reade Baker long has been a fixture at Woodbine, where he annually has been among the track’s leading trainers by wins in each of the past 12 years. Baker received the 2005 Sovereign Award as Canada’s outstanding trainer. Baker began training horses in 1989. His most successful year came in 2006 when he won 77 races and trained the earners of more than $3.9 million. As of April 6, he was approaching 1,000 career wins and $48 million in earnings. Baker’s love of the Thoroughbred industry took off when his uncle took him to the track for the first time at 14 years old. A schoolmate, John Chris, was the son of a trainer and the two became fast friends, a relationship that continues today with Chris as the Baker stable’s veterinarian. In 1985, Baker went to work as racing manager for Rick Kennedy and was responsible for the racing careers of Afleet, One From Heaven and Storm On the Loose before taking over the string. Baker has won three races at Keeneland, including the 2009 Phoenix (G3) with reigning Canadian Horse of the Year Fatal Bullet. Baker’s previous starter in the Toyota Blue Grass: Year 2008 Horse Kentucky Bear Finish 3rd Jockey: Emma-Jayne Wilson Emma-Jayne Wilson won the 2005 Eclipse Award as outstanding apprentice, and she is a two-time winner of the Sovereign Award as outstanding apprentice (2005 and 2006). Wilson was raised in Ontario and began riding horses at age 9. She began her riding career in August 2004 at Woodbine and won her first race on her second career mount. In 2005, Wilson won the riding title at Woodbine, joining Sandy Hawley and Mickey Walls as apprentice jockeys to lead the standings. In 2007, Wilson became the first female jockey to win Canada’s most famous race, the Queen’s Plate, when she rode Mike Fox to victory. Wilson finished second in the 2011 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) with Excaper. As of April 6, she has more than 1,100 races and ridden the earners of more than $55.5 million.

Pedigree note: Half-brother to stakes winner Holiday Mischief, by Into Mischief. Owner: Derby Dreamers Racing Stable For 2014, Derby Dreamers Racing Stable has its racing hopes set on Big Bazinga. The colt was named after the popular TV comedy “The Big Bang Theory,” whose character Sheldon Cooper says “Bazinga” when he tells a joke. Since 2000, Derby Dreamers Racing Stable has recorded 36 wins and earnings of more than $991,000. Trainer: Katerina Vassilieva The lure of Thoroughbred racing is evident in the unorthodox paths some people take to be involved in the sport. One of those people is Katerina Vassilieva, a native of Russia whose family moved to Toronto when she was a child. While she underwent formal figure skating training, Vassilieva was drawn to horses. She took riding lessons as a girl and later was a hot walker and groom while in college. She worked her way up the ladder as an exercise rider for Canadian trainer Reade Baker, who later hired her as an assistant trainer. Vassilieva went out on her own as a trainer in 2011 and currently oversees a 16-horse stable. Her Toyota Blue Grass (G1) hopeful, Big Bazinga, was named for the character Sheldon on the TV sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.” As of April 6, Vassilieva has saddled 20 winners and earners of more than $900,000 in her career. Jockey: Brian Hernandez Jr. Brian “B.J.” Hernandez Jr. had a 27th birthday he’ll never forget, winning the 2012 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) aboard Fort Larned as part of a year in which he recorded a career-best $8,034,048 in earning. Hernandez, born in Lafayette, La., notched his first career victory on Nov. 29, 2003, at Delta Downs on Hughes and his first graded stakes victory in the 2006 Indiana Derby (G2) at Hoosier Park on Cielo Gold. He won the 2004 Eclipse Award as outstanding apprentice jockey after winning 243 races that year, including stakes at Fair Grounds, Churchill Downs, Remington Park and Delta Downs. Hernandez’s first Keeneland win came during the 2004 Fall Meet when he won 20 races and was the season’s second-leading rider. His first Keeneland stakes win was the 2006 JPMorgan Chase Jessamine (G3) on Swingit, and he also won the 2012 Giant’s Causeway on Flash Mash. Hernandez has 65 victories at Keeneland. As of April 5, Hernandez has won 1,215 career races and ridden the earners of more than $39 million. 2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES 11 Bobby’s Kitten Bay colt Sire: Kitten’s Joy Dam: Celestial Woods, by Forestry Breeders and Owners: Kenneth L. and Sarah K. Ramsey (KY) Trainer: Chad Brown Jockey: Javier Castellano Career record: 5 starts, 3 wins, 2 thirds, $307,100 Stakes performances: Won Pilgrim (G3); 3rd Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) Pedigree note: Full brother to stakes winner Major Magic. Third dam North of Eden (IRE), by Northfields, is a half-sister to champion Theatrical (IRE). She produced turf champion Paradise Creek, Grade 1 winners Forbidden Apple and Wild Event, and stakes winner I’m Very Irish. Female family also includes Grade 1 winner Eden’s Moon and David Junior, a highweight in England and the United Arab Emirates. Owners: Kenneth L. and Sarah K. Ramsey (KY) Few horsemen are as involved in as many aspects of Thoroughbred racing – from breeding to racing to handicapping – as Ken Ramsey and his wife, Sarah. The Ramseys earned Eclipse Awards as outstanding owner in 2004, 2011 and 2013, amassing more than $12 million in earnings last year, $5 million more than second-place Midwest Thoroughbreds. They also won their first Eclipse Award as outstanding breeder in 2013, with more than $12.1 million in earnings, owing chiefly to the progeny of their homebred champion and leading North American sire, Kitten’s Joy. Dominant owners on the Kentucky racing circuit, the Ramseys have been leading owner at Keeneland 13 times, just one shy of T.A. Grissom’s record 14 meet titles. They have won or shared six spring meet owner titles (2004, 2006, 2010-13) and seven fall meet titles (2000, 2002, 2007-09, 2012-13). Through April 5, their horses had won 165 races at Keeneland, ranking them third on the list of the track’s all-time owners by number of wins. The Ramseys’ excellence at Keeneland has been impressive. Their 25 wins during the 2013 Spring Meet shattered the previous record of 12 wins by an owner during a single race meeting. The record-breaking pace continued when they won 17 races to establish a Keeneland Fall Meet record for most victories by an owner. In addition to their Keeneland titles, the Ramseys swept the 2013 summer, early fall and late fall meet 12 2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES titles at Churchill Downs; topped the owner standings at Gulfstream during the 2012-2013 winter meet; and captured their third Saratoga title in 2013 with a record 22 wins. Through April 6, 2014, the Ramseys have won 13 Keeneland stakes, including 11 graded stakes. Dark Cove’s victory in the 2013 Elkhorn Stakes (G2) marked their eighth graded stakes victory, for which they earned a gold tray as part of Keeneland’s signature graded stakes trophy program. Only 17 other owners in Keeneland history have such an accomplishment. The Ramseys have won five Grade 1 stakes at Keeneland – Nothing to Lose (2004 Shadwell Turf Mile); Dawn of War (2005 Lane’s End Breeders’ Futurity); Stephanie’s Kitten (2011 Darley Alcibiades); We Miss Artie (2014 Dixiana Breeders’ Futurity); and Kitten’s Dumplings (2013 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup). Among their other notable horses are 2004 champion turf male Kitten’s Joy (2004 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational-G1 and Secretariat-G1); Roses in May (2005 Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup-G1); Furthest Land (2009 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile-G1); and Stephanie’s Kitten (2011 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf-G2). On Aug. 17, 2013, the Ramseys’ Admiral’s Kitten won the Secretariat (G1), Big Blue Kitten took the Sword Dancer Invitational (G1) and Real Solution captured the Arlington Million (G1). All three were homebred sons of Kitten’s Joy. The Ramseys are from Artemus, Ky. Ken was 6 when he accompanied his aunt Ruby on a Christmas shopping trip to Louisville and saw Churchill Downs for the first time. He saw his first Thoroughbred race at Golden Gate Fields when he was in the Navy and saw his second race at Keeneland after his Navy service when he was a student at the University of Kentucky. He claimed his first racehorse, Red Redeemer, for $1,500, in 1969 at old Miles Park in Louisville. Ken Ramsey became a trucking industry executive before turning to real estate in the 1970s and then to cellular telephone network franchising in the 1980s, primarily along Interstate 75 in northeastern Georgia and southeastern Kentucky. He sold the cellular business in 1994 for an estimated $39 million. The Ramseys bought historic Almahurst Farm, outside of Nicholasville, Ky., in 1994 and renamed it Ramsey Farm. Today the farm, which is home to Kitten’s Joy, covers more than 1,200 acres.

Last year, he won the JPMorgan Chase Jessamine (G3) with Kitten Kaboodle for his seventh stakes victory at Keeneland. In 2012, he sent out Dayatthespa to win the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1) and the Appalachian (G3) and saddled Balance the Books to win the Bourbon (G3). His first stakes winner at the track was the popular gray Silver Timber, who won the Woodford (G3) in 2009 and 2010 and the Shakertown (G3) in 2010. From Saratoga, N.Y., Brown was involved in Standardbred racing while growing up. While he attended Cornell University, where he majored in animal science, he spent summers and the year following graduation working for Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey. Brown next spent five years working for Frankel, splitting his time between Southern California and Saratoga. He went on to oversee Frankel’s divisions in Kentucky, Monmouth Park and Gulfstream Park and worked with such standouts as Horse of the Year Ghostzapper, champion Intercontinental (GB), Belmont (G1) winner Empire Maker and Grade 1 winner Medaglia d’Oro. In 2007, Brown saddled Ginger Punch to win the Breeders’ Cup Distaff (G1) while Frankel remained in California. He soon went out on his own. Since 2007, Brown has sent out more than 500 winners and the earners of more than $26 million. They include 2012 champion turf female Zagora (FR), winner of the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1), and Maram, winner of the 2008 Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. He ranked third among North American trainers by earnings in 2013 with $13,395,419.

Castellano won 362 races. The season was the third consecutive in which Castellano ranked in the top three for earnings among North American riders. Through April 5, he also led the 2014 rankings in both of those categories. Born in Venezuela, where his father and uncle were jockeys, Castellano started riding in his native country in 1996 and moved to the U.S. a year later. He first rode in South Florida and scored his first victory in July 1997 at Calder. He received his first big break when he rode Horse of the Year Ghostzapper to win the 2004 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1). At Keeneland, Castellano has 19 stakes victories. In 2012 he won four stakes, including the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1) on Dayatthespa.

Owner: All American Horses Casiguapo was bred by the University of Kentucky, which operates a 100-acre horse unit for teaching and research at its Maine Chance Farm. UK has a small broodmare band at the farm, relying on donated mares and donated stallion seasons. Students work at the farm and learn all aspects of the horse industry. They sell the foals they breed as yearlings. By Sightseeing, Casiguapo was sold to Jorge Wagner’s All American Horses. Wagner said he likes to buy offspring of young sires. “I always try to study a little on pedigree,” Wagner 14 2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES said in an interview with Horse Racing Radio Network before Casiguapo finished second in the Delta Downs Jackpot (G3). “He’s a good-looking horse. Since he was a baby, he was a really nice colt. When he started training, he did everything easy. His morning works were excellent.” Casiguapo is Spanish for “almost handsome.” The story is that the groom who cared for him as a youngster called him Casiguapo, which led to everyone else in the barn to use the moniker. The name stuck when Wagner heard it. Trainer: Mario Morales A veteran of more than 35 years as a Thoroughbred trainer, Mario Morales is a familiar face at Calder Race Course in South Florida. The native of Colombia trained horses in South America, including Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina before moving to the U.S. a decade ago. In North America, he has trained 83 winners and the earners of nearly $1.8 million. Among them is Caballero Negro, winner of Calder’s Silver Season Stakes in 2004. Morales, who trains Casiguapo, trained horses for owner Jorge Wagner’s father three decades ago. “(Morales) knows a lot about the game,” Wagner said in an interview with Horse Racing Radio Network. “He’s a smart trainer that knows the business.

Oxley of Tulsa, Okla., became interested in Thoroughbred racing as a youngster and said he was captivated listening to Assault’s victory in the 1946 Kentucky Derby on the family radio. He was 10 when he began caring for the Thoroughbred polo ponies owned by his father, John T. Oxley, a Hall of Fame polo player and former chairman of the U.S. Polo Association. While he played polo in his 20s, the younger Oxley attended the races at Hialeah and Gulfstream and decided he wanted to own Thoroughbred racehorses. When he was 35, he purchased his first horse at a 2-year-old sale at Hialeah. Oxley has found success as an owner at the highest level, winning the 2001 Kentucky Derby (G1) with Monarchos and the 1995 Kentucky Oaks (G1) with Gal in a Ruckus. He campaigned champion Beautiful Pleasure, a six-time Grade 1 winner who earned more than $2.7 million during her career. Other notable horses who’ve carried his silks include Grade 1 winners Sky Mesa and Booklet and multiple graded stakes winners Dancinginherdreams, Strong Contender, Yes Dear Maggy, Stalwart, Pyramid Peak and Jambalaya Jazz.

He trained Spring in the Air, winner of Keeneland’s Darley Alcibiades (G1), and multiple graded stakes winner Prospective, who was sixth in the Toyota Blue Grass (G1). In 2013, Casse again won the Darley Alcibiades with My Conquestadory. For 2012, Casse received his fifth Sovereign Awards as the leading trainer in Canada. In his career, he trained Canadian Horse of the Year Sealy Hill and additional Canadian champions Delightful Mary, Marchfield, Kimchi, Added Edge and Exciting Story. He also has one title as leading trainer at Churchill Downs and four titles as leading trainer at Turfway Park.

Horner’s three children, Crysta, Courtney and Colton, Coltimus Prime’s namesake, are the impetus behind the social media campaign for Coltimus Prime. The colt has a Facebook page and a Twitter account. “We need to see the next generation coming to the track with us and putting together a social media platform came naturally to them. I think it’s a great idea,” Horner said. Website: cabernetracingstable.com Owner: Cabernet Racing Stables Trainer: Justin Nixon Cabernet Racing Stables represents the partnership of Jayson Horner, breeder of Coltimus Prime, and his friend Mike Weingarten. Horner, a 55-year-old businessman from Toronto, often attended the races as a child with his late father, Russell. “My dad used to own horses and I tagged along to the track with him back in the ‘60s and ‘70s,” Horner recounted in a recent Woodbine press release. “His claim to fame, and we’re going back to the late 1940s, is a horse called Wool Chopper, who was a Queen’s Plate favorite but took a bad step during training and didn’t make it to the Plate.” After the death of his father, Horner lost touch with racing until a chance encounter at his son Colton’s hockey game rekindled the flame. “My son plays hockey in Aurora and the mother of one of the kids on his team is John Sikura’s sister,” said Horner, referring to the president of Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms. “I was standing in the rink one day and Caroline showed up wearing a Hill ‘n’ Dale jacket with a patch on the sleeve that said ‘Theatrical.’ We started talking and that’s what got me intrigued about racing again.” A partnership with his friend Weingarten, creating the Cabernet Racing moniker, has proven to be a successful venture tracing back to the seemingly nondescript $16,000 claim of a Distorted Humor mare named Certainly Special on Feb. 8, 2008. “We spotted a mare that had been racing at Gulfstream and it was a time in the economy when trainers were dropping horses in for a tag not thinking anyone was going to claim them,” recalled Horner. “Bill Mott Justin Nixon is a Canadian-born trainer who arrives for the Toyota Blue Grass (G1) with Coltimus Prime, who will be his first career starter at Keeneland. Nixon began his racing career by training Standardbreds in Ontario for his father. He has trained Thoroughbred stakes winners at Colonial Downs, Lone Star, Monmouth, Mountaineer, Pimlico and Woodbine. The trainer, who winters at Palm Beach Downs, entered April with 343 career victories and has trained the earners of more than $6.9 million. In 2004, his horses scored 43 victories and earned more than $1.2 million. Jockey: Alan Garcia Alan Garcia made his mark at Keeneland in 2010 when he scored two longshot victories in Grade 1 races. In April, he rode Stately Victor to a 40-1 upset in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1). In October, he rode Acoma to win the Juddmonte Spinster (G1) at odds of 23-1. Garcia had 58 career victories at Keeneland through 2013 with three stakes victories. From Lima, Peru, Garcia represents the third generation of his family to ride racehorses. He graduated from the nation’s jockey school, and he was Peru’s leading apprentice in 2003. At the suggestion of friend and fellow rider Alfredo Clemente, Garcia came to the United States that same year and was the leading apprentice at The Meadowlands after a brief tenure as an exercise rider in Kentucky. He has been based in New York since 2007. In 2007, Garcia joined a select group of riders to win a race during the Breeders’ Cup World Championships with his first mount in the event. That horse 2014 BLUE GRASS STAKES BIOGRAPHIES 17 Coltimus Prime was Lahudood (GB), who captured the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1). Kiaran McLaughlin trained Lahudood, who earned the Eclipse Award as the year’s champion older turf female. In 2008, Garcia rode Da’ Tara to an upset victory in the Belmont Stakes (G1). That same year, he secured his first title as a leading jockey when he led the standings at Saratoga. Since 2003, Garcia has ridden more than 1,400 winners and the earners of nearly $76 million in his career. From 2007 through 2010 he amassed more than $46.2 million in earnings, including a single-year career-high $14,487,938 in 2008.

Joe Ciaglia Jr. met trainer Peter Eurton in the 1990s and was introduced to Frank Alesia, who played a significant role in Ciaglia’s racing education. Ciaglia, whose company California Skateparks is a leading designer of action sports facilities worldwide, became an owner in 1999 and began purchasing horses with the Alesias.

I’ve always tried to do a good job. I’ve always had confidence. Always taken the job seriously. And I’m grateful. The most any trainer hopes for is that an owner will give you a chance with a good horse.” Jockey: Julian Pimentel Julian Pimentel and trainer Michael Trombetta have teamed up often in the past for success on the Maryland racing circuit. Now the duo will try to replicate the results in the Toyota Blue Grass (G1) with Extrasexyhippzster. Pimentel was born in Colombia and rode there before moving to the U.S. He was a leading rider at Monmouth Park and The Meadowlands from 2001-2005. He moved to Maryland, where he claimed the 2008 Laurel Park summer meet riding title and rode Spectacular Malibu to win the Maryland Million Distaff and Peace Town to win the Maryland Juvenile Championship.

Those triumphs are among the many accomplishments for Prado, who in 2008 also was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame. In his career, Prado has won more than 6,700 races and ridden the earners of nearly $250 million around the world. He earned the Eclipse Award as outstanding jockey in 2006, the year he won the Kentucky Derby (G1) aboard unbeaten Barbaro. He won the Belmont (G1) in 2004 aboard Birdstone. At Keeneland, Prado has won 37 stakes prior to the start of the 2013 Spring Meet. He ranks fifth among the track’s all-time leading riders in that category. He has 123 career victories at the track, the first of which came during the 1997 Fall Meet. Prado ranks ninth in all-time victories by North American jockeys and is second to only Russell Baze among active riders. Two of Prado’s Grade 1 wins here came aboard Take Charge Lady, in the Overbrook Spinster (G1) in 2002 and 2003. In 2003, Prado’s Spinster win on Take Charge Lady and his Toyota Blue Grass victory on Peace Rules gave him two of his four Grade 1 wins at the track that year, joining the Shadwell Turf Mile on Landseer (GB) and the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on Film Maker. His other Grade 1 wins at Keeneland were aboard Perfect Soul (IRE) in the 2003 Shadwell Turf Mile and on Sis City in the 2005 Ashland. Born in Peru, Prado was a successful jockey in his home country. He moved to the U.S. and began riding in Florida in 1986. Prado was a leading rider in Maryland before moving his tack to New York and beginning to appear in the biggest races in the sport.
