Revolutionary retired to stud at WinStar

"His great looks and strong female family are big reasons why we already have

several of our own mares committed to his first book. He's a fantastic

opportunity in our Dream Big Program, which has been very popular with our

breeders. Last year, we booked Overanalyze very quickly on the Dream Big

Program, and we anticipate Revolutionary will be just as well-received."

Trained by Todd Pletcher, Revolutionary concluded his juvenile season with an

8 1/2-length maiden special weight score at Aqueduct. He made his stakes and

three-year-old debut a winning one with dramatic flair, overcoming extreme

trouble to capture the Grade 3 Withers in early January.

Revolutionary established himself as a top Kentucky Derby contender in the

Grade 2, $1 million Louisiana Derby, shrugging off a wide trip to post a

fast-finishing neck victory. Among those left in his wake that afternoon was

eventual Belmont Stakes hero Palace Malice.

Sent off the 6-1 second choice in the Kentucky Derby, Revolutionary was

bumped hard at the start and forced to check in traffic on the far turn

before unleashing his customary late rally to be a good third behind Orb. He

made only one more start in 2013, a fifth in the Belmont, before being freshened

in advance of a four-year-old campaign.

In 2014, Revolutionary returned at Gulfstream Park with a handy win over

next-out Grade 2 winner Falling Sky in an one-mile allowance/optional claiming

event. He again faced trouble in a runner-up performance in the Grade 2 Oaklawn

H., falling just three-quarters of a length short to champion Will Take Charge

after a long steward's inquiry. Revolutionary rebounded in his next start with

an electrifying win in the Grade 3 Pimlico Special on Preakness weekend,

registering a career-best 112 BRIS Speed rating after closing from 30+ lengths

off the pace during the early stages.

He concluded his racing career with a sixth in the Stephen Foster H. at

Churchill Downs in June.

Revolutionary retires with a career record of 13-5-2-3, competing at

distances from 5 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/2 miles, and earnings of $1,353,125.

Campaigned by WinStar, the striking dark bay colt represents the best racehorse

by the late champion War Pass and hails from the Grade 1-winning A.P. Indy mare

Runup the Colors, who captured the prestigious Alabama at Saratoga. 

Bred by W. S. Farish, the female family represents one of the top Farish

families, with a dozen blacktype winners within the first two dams including

Horse of the Year Mineshaft. Similar to Super Saver, the family traces back to

one of the best Phipps families, including the direct family of breed-shaping

mare La Troienne.
