War
Emblem at Old Friends

2002
Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner War Emblem was bred in
Kentucky by Charles Nuckols, Jr. & Sons. The handsome,
nearly black colt was purchased for $20,000 and won his first
start at Arlington Park ridden by Alfredo Juarez, Jr. for
Russell L. Reineman Stable, Inc. and trainer Frank Springer.
He entered into Derby contention with a 6 ¼ length
victory in the Illinois Derby, Larry Sterling, Jr. in the
irons. Purchased by The Thoroughbred Corporation, War Emblem
was thereafter trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Victor
Espinoza. On Derby day 2002 the spirited colt outran the speed
and put away the challengers. He scored a repeat performance
in the 2002 Preakness. But a Triple Crown was not to be. War
Emblem was denied the Belmont by fellow future Old Friends
retiree Sarava. His final win in the prestigious Haskell
Stakes (G1) resulted in earnings of $3,491,000 for 7 wins, 0
seconds and 0 thirds in 13 races. War Emblem’s entire
stud career was spent at Shadai Stallion Station in Japan. He
proved a shy breeder with only 118 foals in a dozen years at
stud; nevertheless, his progeny include Japan’s 2012
champion juvenile filly Robe Tissage and Shuka Sho (Jpn G1)
winner Black Emblem. War Emblem was retired from stud in 2015
and donated by the Yoshida family to Old Friends. Grateful
thanks go to the Yoshida family, the staff of Shadai Stallion
Station, Emanuel de Seroux, and the many supporters who
generously enabled War Emblem’s retirement to Old
Friends.
