Grindstone (horse)
Template:Short description Template:Infobox thoroughbred racehorse
Grindstone (January 23, 1993 – March 22, 2022[1]) was a Thoroughbred racehorse, best known for winning the 1996 Kentucky Derby.
Background
Bred and owned by William T. Young's Overbrook Farm, Grindstone was the son of Unbridled out of the mare Buzz My Bell. Buzz My Bell's dam was a half-sister to La Grue, the dam of the Belmont Stakes winner Pass Catcher.[2]
Upon the death of Go for Gin on March 8, 2022,[3] Grindstone became the oldest living winner of the Kentucky Derby as well as any of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing races.
Racing career
As a three-year-old, Grindstone won the Louisiana Derby and was second in the Arkansas Derby. He then won the 1996 Kentucky Derby with a time of 2:01.06, edging Cavonnier at the wire by a nose. He was jockey Jerry Bailey's second Kentucky Derby winner, and the second in a row for trainer D. Wayne Lukas. Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote".
Grindstone was retired five days after his Kentucky Derby victory, when a bone chip was discovered in his knee.[4] He was the first horse since Bubbling Over in 1926 to be retired immediately following a win in the Kentucky Derby.
