FIVE STAR GENERAL

Covilar’s Owl Hollow Farm is proud to introduce Five Star General, a distinguished bay stallion standing at 16.3 hands, to our 2025 breeding roster. With a pedigree rich in excellence and a racing career marked by resilience, speed and success, Five Star General offers breeders a rare opportunity to access Kentucky-quality genetics to produce the next generation of champions. Nicknamed “Ike” after U.S. President and five-star general Dwight D. Eisenhower, Five Star General embodies power, intelligence, and a competitive spirit.
Foaled in 2016, Five Star General was bred by WinStar Farm and is the son of Distorted Humor, an elite sire known for producing multiple Grade 1 winners and imparting speed and versatility to his progeny. His dam, Party of Interest, is by Bernardini, adding stamina and depth to his impressive lineage. With career earnings exceeding $900,000 and a top Equibase Speed Figure of 114, Five Star General’s racing achievements include:
- Central Park Stakes (2018): His first stakes victory at Aqueduct as a 2-year-old.
- British Columbia Derby (2019): A Grade 3 triumph at Hastings Racecourse.
- Evangeline Downs Mile (2023): A commanding victory showcasing his endurance.
- Longacres Mile (2023 & 2024): Historic back-to-back wins in this prestigious race, cementing his legacy as a top performer.
With 13 wins, 6 places, and 9 shows from 39 starts, he maintained a 72% top three finish rate, demonstrating consistency and durability across five seasons. Now retired from racing, Five Star General transitions to his new role as a premier stallion. His balanced and athletic build features strong hindquarters for speed, a deep chest for stamina, and a refined head that reflects intelligence and a sharp racing mind. These attributes, combined with his proven performance and pedigree, position him as an excellent choice for breeders seeking to produce the next generation of champions.
