My Racing Nation

Thoroughbred Racing Nation’s 2-year-old c**t Karakontie Kid in training at Genesis Training Center in Goshen, KY looks sensational! Standing at 16.2 hands, he is physically impressive, well balanced, big b***d, and athletic. He closely resembles his sire Karakontie who has produced graded stakes winners on turf and dirt throughout the world including 5 time Grade I winner of $2.5 million She Feels Pretty.

His dam sire Silver Max was an exceptionally gifted racehorse who earned $1,954,000 winning 12 of 27 starts, including 7 victories in Graded Stakes races and 3 in Listed Stakes, at seven different tracks. Remarkably, Silver Max was never headed in any of his 12 wins, winning every one of them gate to wire!

Look for Karakontie Kid to make his first start this Fall.
