Bred in Kentucky by Brereton C. Jones, multiple graded stakes winner Yankee Fourtune began his career racing on the dirt but found his strong suit at two turns on the turf.

At three he won the Hawthorne Derby (G3) in Illinois and the Commonwealth Turf Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs, for owners Harvey Clarke and Andrew Albstein, trained by Kiaran McLaughlin.

At four, Yankee Fourtune finished third in the Canadian Turf Stakes at Florida’s Gulfstream Park.

By five he was still competitive, if at a more modest level. Claimed for $50K by Michael Dubb and Bethlehem Stables and trained by Rudy Rodriguez he won at Belmont with Ramon Dominguez up. Acquired by his final racing connections, Take Two Stables and trainer Jason Servis, he won at Belmont with Jose Ortiz riding, and at the Meadowlands with Christopher De Carlo. The grey gelding went out a winner at Monmouth in 2014 with Paco Lopez in the irons, but it was clear his career was winding down.

He retired with 31 starts, 9 wins, 7 seconds and 2 thirds for $391,975.

Yankee Fourtune joined the retirees at Old Friends in 2015 due to the efforts and support of Harvey Clarke, for whom the gelding had achieved success in graded stakes.
