History:
Navigator was bred by Kimallus Racing in November 2009. He started racing as a two year old, broke his maiden at his first race, and moved out of the allowances on his second try. After that he took a break from the track, but we kept him working and in March 2011 he made his return with an impressive grade two third place at the March races at SAI. We then made the decision to move him up to grade one, not because he had the most experience, but because we knew that he was ready for it. We were nervous about entering him into the race for the coveted Triple Crown, and almost decided against it, but he shone through as one of our best three year olds. Against the odds, Navigator placed a respectable fifth place in the Kentucky Derby out of thirteen starters. He followed this up with two second place finishes in the Preakness and the Belmont! He also placed third in the ASRA Belmont. Even though he didn't win, we are ecstatic about his performance. Navigator will continue his race career and we can only wait and see what he will do next.
