Disguise (horse)

Disguise (foaled May 10, 1897 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1900 Jockey Club Stakes in England but is best remembered for his success as a sire.

Disguise was bred by the very wealthy Wall Street stockbroker James R. Keene at his Castleton Stud Farm near Lexington, Kentucky.

[1] Disguise's dam was Bonnie Gal, a daughter of 1875 Epsom Derby Galopin who won eight of nine starts and was a three-time Leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland.

In the prestigious Epsom Derby, a part of the English Triple Crown series, Diamond Jubilee turned the tables, beating runner-up Simon Dale with Disguise finishing third.

Disguise was purchased at the September 1913 Castleton dispersal auction for $5,300 by James W. Corrigan and Price McKinley, owners of Wickliffe Stud, who brought him to stand at their Kingston Farm near Lexington, Kentucky.
