Kitten's Joy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kitten's Joy (born May 8, 2001 in Kentucky) is a Thoroughbred race horse by the Sadler's Wells stallion El Prado out of the Lear Fan mare Kitten's First. Kitten's Joy is owned and bred by Ken and Sarah Ramsey (who is nicknamed Kitten). He was trained by Dale Romans and regularly ridden by Edgar Prado.

Kitten's Joy won the 2004 Secretariat Stakes and the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational as his only two Grade I wins. This was enough to be voted the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Male Turf Horse.

Kitten's Joy only started twice as a four year old. Finishing first in the Firecraker. He finished second to Powerscourt in the Arlington Million, considered by some to be the turf race equivalent of the Kentucky Derby. He was retired after the Million and now stands at Ramsey Farm in Nicholasville, Kentucky.
