He was sired by 1987 Champion Two Year Old Colt Forty Niner, out of the unraced Damascus daughter Laughing Look.
He started his three-year-old campaign in Florida with a second in the Hutcheson stakes to Time Limit after dumping jockey Mike Smith before the race.
It was eerily similar to his sire's Travers win over Seeking the Gold and Brian's Time ten years prior.
Coronado's Quest was only moderately successful at stud, despite his excellent pedigree and race record.
His most notable grandsons and daughters include champions Kodiak Kowboy, Grand Adventure and Grade I winners Mani Bhavan and Boys at Tosconova.
