Bucephalus Touch – A Bright Future Ahead
Bay Colt
DOB: 04/26/2021, Virginia-Certified

Among our current equine roster, Bucephalus Touch stands out as a promising young contender. This dark bay colt, foaled on April 26, 2021, is sired by Carpe Diem, a notable multiple graded stakes winner with an illustrious career highlighted by earnings of over $1.5 million and a strong pedigree rooted in Giant’s Causeway and Unbridled’s Song. On his dam’s side, Classy Touch adds further depth to Bucephalus Touch’s lineage. Classy Touch herself was sold for over $300,000 at auction and is out of Flute, a celebrated winner of the Kentucky Oaks, and sired by the legendary Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew.

Currently under the expert care of Randy Rentz at Rentz Training Center, Bucephalus Touch is being meticulously prepared for his next phase. Come December 2024, he will transition to Scott Lake’s training team, where his racing journey will begin in earnest. With such a robust lineage and the proven expertise of both Randy Rentz and Scott Lake shaping his path, we are excited to watch Bucephalus Touch’s career unfold and believe he has the potential to make a significant impact on the track.

At Covilar Farms LLC, our partnerships with esteemed trainers and our commitment to developing top-tier thoroughbreds ensure that our horses are always given the very best start, nurturing them to become champions of tomorrow.
