Connections

Sharp Humor is co-owned by the Purdedel Stable, trained by Dale Romans, and ridden by Mark Guidry. Sharp Humor was bred in New York by Patrica S. Purdy. Just before the running of the Kentucky Derby of 2006, WinStar Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, (where his sire, Distorted Humor stands), acquired a share in him.

Breeding

Sharp Humor is the son of Distorted Humor out of the mare Bellona. His sire is a son of Forty Niner out of the very influential Mr. Prospector. He is a half brother to Funny Cide, the winner of the 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, as well as half brother to Flower Alley, winner of the 2005 Jim Dandy Stakes and the Travers Stakes, and Commentator, the winner of the 2005 Whitney Stakes.

After recovering, he underwent therapeutic swimming at the Kesmark Equine Rehabilitation Center also in Lexington. As of mid-July, Sharp Humor is back in training.
