Stone Street (horse)

Stone Street (1905 – 1914) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that is primarily remembered for winning the 1908 Kentucky Derby.

He was a bay colt sired by Longstreet out of the mare Stone Nellie (by imported Stonehenge).

[1] The 1908 Kentucky Derby was run on a wet track, with Stone Street easily creating an early lead over the other seven contenders, who were bogged down in the mud and were in poor racing form that day.

The $5 minimum bet paid $123.60 to win for Stone Street at 24 to 1 final odds.

[1] As of 2023, Stone Street's winning time of 2:15 1/5 is the slowest ever recorded at the Derby's current 1+1⁄4-mile distance.
