Bluegrass Cat is a thoroughbred race horse. Born on January 23, 2003, he was a contender for the Triple Crown in 2006. However, he came up just short in the Kentucky Derby, finishing in second place, 6.5 lengths behind Barbaro.

Connections

Owned and bred by WinStar Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, he is trained by Todd Pletcher. For the Derby, he was riden by Ramon A. Dominguez. (Distorted Humor, Tiznow, Speightstown, and Victory Gallop stand at stud at WinStar Farm.)

Breeding

By Storm Cat out of She's A Winner, Bluegrass Cat's breeding line include such horses as A.P. Indy, Secretariat, Bold Ruler, Northern Dancer, and Seattle Slew.

Races

Finish Line

Although he came out of the 2006 Travers in seemingly good shape, the next morning he was found to be lame in his right hind pastern. Xrays showed he had a nondisplaced fracture. Bluegrass Cat is now retired from racing with five wins and four places out of eleven starts, and earnings of $1,761,280. He'll be going home to WinStar to stand at stud for $50,000 beginning in 2007.
