YOUNG ROYALTY

Young Royalty, a dark bay mare hailing from Kentucky, was foaled on April 9, 2003 and bred by Don C. McNeill & Everett Dobson in Kentucky. She is the offspring of Royal Academy (KY) with $758,994 in race earnings and Young and Wild (KY), who is sired by Wild Again (KY), who is most famous for winning the inaugural Breeders’ Cup Classic in 1984 over Slew o’ Gold and Gate Dancer in a famous stretch run where all three battled head-to-head to the finish line. In a thrilling conclusion to the richest race in history during that time, long shot Wild Again survived both a wild bumping match in the stretch with Slew o’ Gold and Gate Dancer and a steward’s inquiry to win the $3 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Hollywood Park Racetrack. The three battled down the stretch with Wild Again bearing out and shifting his path away from the rail and Gate Dancer “lugging in” towards the rail, squeezing out Slew O’ Gold. Wild Again finished ahead in front of Gate Dancer with Slew o’ Gold less than a length behind. Wild Again race career earnings exceeded $2 million. Aside from winning the first Breeders’ Cup Classic, to which he had to be supplemented for a fee of $360,000, Wild Again won the Grade I Meadowlands Cup Handicap, the Grade II New Orleans Handicap and the Grade II Oaklawn Handicap in which he broke the track record by almost two seconds
