Pink Star

[1] Pink Star won the Kentucky Derby by two lengths over Zal on a very wet track, with the mud being a fetlock deep in some places.

Ridden by Andy Minder, his win was a long shot victory and Pink Star was described by contemporary sources as a lumbering and ugly mount.

[1] Pink Star finished in last place for the 1907 Latonia Derby, developing a fever and respiratory infection shortly after the running that permanently impacted his breathing.

[2] By May 1908, Pink Star had been gelded and retired from racing due to poor performance and having a bad temperament.

He lived the remainder of his life as a plow horse at the farm of J. Hal Woodford in Louisville, Kentucky.
