Turkoman (horse)

Owned and bred by Corbin Robertson, he was sired by 1989 United States Racing Hall of Fame inductee Alydar out of the Table Play mare, Taba, who was the Champion 2 year old Filly in Argentina.

In the Breeders Cup Classic with jockey Pat Day substitute riding for the injured Chris McCarron, coming from far back his late rally fell short of catching front-runner Skywalker though he once again finished ahead of Precisionist.

He is a successful sire with graded stakes race winners Turk Passer, Man From Wicklow, Peruvian 3 year old Champion Captain Garfio, Personal Merit, and Miss Turkana.

A portion of his boarding fee was paid by Our Mims Retirement Haven in Paris Ky[3] through a grant funded by his racing owners.

He was euthanized in December 2016 due to chronic instability in his hindquarters and will be cremated and buried back in Kentucky next to his dam, Taba, and his half sister.
