Kentucky (horse)

William R. Travers George Osgood Leonard Jerome Annieswood Stable Kentucky (1861–1875), was a successful American Thoroughbred racehorse who won 21 of his 23 starts, including 20 consecutive wins.

At age three, racing for John Hunter, William R. Travers and George Osgood, he lost his second start in the inaugural Jersey Derby – coming in fourth to Norfolk.

After that he won 20 consecutive races, including the first Travers Stakes in 1864 and the first two runnings of the Saratoga Cup at a distance of 2¼ miles.

Kentucky was then resold to Annieswood Stable (a partnership of August Belmont, John Hunter, Leonard Jerome, Roderick Cameron, and William Travers).

In 1869 Belmont sent Kentucky to stand at his Babylon, New York Nursery Stud, where he sired the champion filly Woodbine (1869).
