Bred
by and birthed at Rutledge in 1990, Colonial
Affair is the Classic Winner of the 1993
Belmont
Stakes, the 1994 Jockey Club Gold Cup,
and numerous other graded stakes races.
Amassing over $1,600,000 in winnings, before
retiring to stud, Colonial Affair is the
runner up for the Thoroughbred
Racing Associations' 1994 Eclipse Award
(Older Horse).
A true landmark
in thoroughbred racing history, Colonial
Affair's 1993 Belmont Stakes win made his
jockey (Julie
Krone) the first female, ever,
to win a classic stakes race.
Colonial Affair
is by Pleasant Colony, who Bloodhorse.com
lists as one of 2004's top 100 sires (by
Graded
Stakes Winners, by G1
Stakes Winners, and by Average
Earnings Per Runner). Also a Classic
Winner, Pleasant Colony, is the winner of
both the 1981 Kentucky Derby and the 1981
Preakness Stakes.
