Vino Rosso (foaled March 29, 2015) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 2019 Breeders' Cup Classic.
Racing career
Vino Rosso made his racing debut on November 11, 2017, with a win at Aqueduct Racetrack. He then won his second race at Tampa Bay Downs on December 22, 2017.[1]
At age three, his 2018 racing season started with a third place finish in the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis Stakes. He picked up his first Graded stakes race win on April 7, 2018, in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial Stakes.[2] He competed in the 2018 Kentucky Derby, where he finished in 9th place. His season ended abruptly in August.
His 2019 racing season was much more successful than his 2018 season. He started the season off with a win on March 9, 2019, in the Stymie Stakes.[3] He then captured his biggest win up to that point when he won the Gold Cup at Santa Anita Stakes on May 27, 2019.[4]
He came in third place at the Grade 1 Whitney Handicap on August 3, 2019, and ran second in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup. He then finished his season on November 2, 2019, with a win at the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic.[5] This was ultimately his final race as he was retired in November 2019.[6]
Stud career
Vino Rosso retired to Spendthrift Farm upon the conclusion of his racing career. As of 2023 he stands for a stud fee of $15,000.[7] His first win as a sire came on May 15, 2023, when his son Laugh Now won at Horseshoe Indianapolis.[7]
