Passionate Class was a grade one turf racehorse. He won races such as the Unicorn Horn Classic (x2) the Universal Cup, Breeder's Cup Mile and the Breeder's Cup Turf, to name a few. He retired with a record of 56-25-11-14. Simply A Flyer is a Hall of Fame Inductee and retired grade one turf racehorse.

Having been raised the way he has, it's little wonder Prince thinks he's a prince. He's the jewel of his age group within our stables, and he knows it. He's quite well behaved and usually gentle as you could hope for a young thoroughbred. Prince is however very demanding of attention. He has to have his goat friend with him at all times, except obviously when he is working out or racing. Once he got his first taste of winning, in a workout at home, he has strived to win every time since. The attention received in the winner's circle to him has gotta be something like a drug hit to an addict. On the track he is very competitive, and can often be heard bellowing out challenges to any horse in sight when he is due to run in a race.
Leg Type: Preceder
Prince favours a position behind the leaders. He likes to break fast, and depending on his gate, either move to position from the outside or move to position on the inside rail. He will then relax in position, and run on easily until making his move in the final stretch.
