Bardstown (1952–1972) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.
Background[]
He was bred and raced by Calumet Farm of Lexington, Kentucky who named him for the city of Bardstown in Nelson County, Kentucky. Due to ankle and hip joint problems, Bardstown, a gelding, did not race until age four but then competed for four years and became one of the top older horses of his time.
Racing career[]
Trained by "Jimmy" Jones, among his important wins Bardstown twice won Florida's Tropical Handicap at Tropical Park Race Track[2] as well as the premier event on the winter racing calendar, the Widener Handicap at Hialeah Park Race Track in Hialeah, Florida.[3] At age seven, Bardstown set a new Tropical Park track record of 1:40 2/5 for a mile and one sixteenth on dirt while winning the 1959 .[4]
Retirement[]
Bardstown was retired to Calumet Farm in 1960 where he died in 1972.[5]
