Patch
at Old Friends
Courtesy Old Friends
website
Bred
and raced by historic Calumet Farm, Patch was a top racehorse
despite having only one eye. As a two year old, Patch
developed an ulcer in his left eye that did not respond to the
best of medical care. The eye had to be surgically removed,
but that didn’t stop Patch from becoming a confident,
strategic racehorse. As one of the best three year olds of
2017, he went on the Kentucky Derby trail, earning a berth in
the run for the roses with a second in the Louisiana Derby
trained by Todd Pletcher and ridden by Tyler Gaffalione. In
the Derby Patch drew the outermost post position, a
disadvantage even for horses sighted on their left side, and
during the race he had to contend with heavy traffic. The
Belmont Stakes gave him a better chance to show what he could
do. With John Velazquez up, Patch finished third at a mile and
a half against the best of his contemporaries. At four he ran
well in prestigious Grade 1 company and scored an allowance
win at Belmont Park. He wound up his competitive career in
2019 with earnings of $532,450. Old Friends is grateful to
Calumet Farm for enabling this exceptionally bright,
personable gelding’s retirement with us.
