Seeking The Gold

Seeking The Gold (foaled 1985 in Kentucky) is an American thoroughbred Stallion racehorse. He was sired by the leading stud, Mr. Prospector, who in turn was a son of Raise a Native, out of the mare, Con Game.

He was raced at 2, 3, and 4, and never placed worse than second in 15 starts earning over $2 million lifetime.

Winning the Super Derby, the Peter Pan Stakes, the Dwyer Stakes, and the Swale Stakes, he placed second by a nose to Forty Niner in the 1988 Haskell Invitational Handicap, and second to Alysheba in the 1988 Breeder's Cup Classic.
