๐๐ Happy 12th Birthday, Accelerate! ๐๐
Today weโre celebrating Hall of Champions resident Accelerate, a four-time Grade 1 winner and multi-millionaire who thrilled fans on the track.
Foaled in 2013, this Kentucky-bred stallion was purchased by Hronis Racing at the 2014 Keeneland Yearling Sale. Sired by Preakness Stakes winner Lookin At Lucky and out of the stakes-placed Awesome Again mare Issues, Accelerateโs standout pedigree quickly translated into elite performance on the racetrack.
Over the course of his career, Accelerate earned more than $6.69 million before retiring in November 2018 to stand at Laneโs End Farm. He joined the Hall of Champions in the fall of 2023 and has since become a wonderful addition to the barn.
Join us in wishing Accelerate a very happy 12th birthdayโand learn more about his incredible career below! ๐ด๐

Today, we were joined by fans and friends of Funny Cide for a special Statue Dedication Ceremony at the Kentucky Horse Parkโs iconic Hall of Champions Barn, where Funny Cide spent his retirement and delighted visitors for 15 years.
The ceremony included remarks from Kentucky Horse Park President Lee Carter, Sackatoga Stableโs Jack Knowlton, jockey Jose Santos, and Hall of Champions Manager Rob Willis before the official unveiling of the bronze tribute.
Funny Cide captured the hearts of racing fans across the nation as the first New York-bred gelding to win the Kentucky Derby and the first New York-bred to win the Preakness Stakes, igniting Triple Crown hopes in 2003.
The bronze sculpture was created by artist Shelley Hunter, whose work is also featured along the parkโs Memorial Walk of Champions, including tributes to Alysheba, John Henry, and Staying Together.
Guests visiting the Kentucky Horse Park can now see Funny Cideโs statue outside the Hall of Champions Barn as a lasting tribute to his remarkable career and beloved legacy.
