Typecast (foaled April 10, 1966) was an American Champion Thoroughbred racehorse noted for her ability to win races at both short and very long distances.
In 1972, she won important races at her home base in California including the Gamely, Milady and Santa Monica Handicaps, all run at distances between seven and eight and a half furlongs.
With a $250,000 winner-take-all purse at stake, 53,575 spectators watched Typecast and Bill Shoemaker lose to Convenience and Jerry Lambert by a nose.
Typecast's 1972 performances earned her American Champion Older Female Horse honors, but Westerly Stud Farms' owner Fletcher Jones did not live to see it.
The forty-one-year-old co-founder of Computer Sciences Corporation died on November 7, 1972, when the plane he was piloting crashed into a hillside near the farm in Santa Ynez, California.
