Bold Lad (1962–1986) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse. ==Background== Bold Lad bred and raced by Gladys Phipps and her brother Ogden L. Mills under their Wheatley Stable banner. His sire was eight-time leading sire in North America Bold Ruler, and his dam was the racing mare Misty Morn. He was trained by Bill Winfrey. Beatrice Mills Forbes, Lady Granard, the sister of Gladys Mills Phipps and Ogden L. Mills, bred the British mare Barn Pride to Bold Ruler, producing another cold named Bold Lad. Bold Lad raced in England and Ireland, where he, too, won Champion Two-Year-Old Colt honors. ==1964: two-year-old season== At age two, Bold Lad won every important race for his age group. He set a new Saratoga track record of 1:15 3/5 in winning the 6½-furlong Hopeful Stakes () and equalled the Aqueduct track record time of 1:16 in his win in the 6½-furlong Futurity Stakes. () Bold Lad's performances made him a unanimous selection as the 1964 American Champion Two-Year-Old Colt. () At the end of 1964, Thomas Trotter, handicapper for The Jockey Club, assigned Bold Lad high weight for 1965 of 130 pounds in the Experimental Free Handicap. The exceptional weight was higher than even the amount assigned to Secretariat, that was allotted 129 pounds in 1972. () Bold Lad was the winterbook favorite for the first leg of the 1965 U.S. Triple Crown series, the Kentucky Derby. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bold Lad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
