Straight No Chaser was a wickedly fast and talented runner who was named the ‘24 Eclipse Champion Sprinter off the back of victories in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Sprint and G2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship. He also scored in the G3 Maryland Sprint Stakes the preceding season as a 4YO, and at 6YO he was successful in the G2 Riyadh Dirt Sprint — reminiscent of his grandsire, Speightstown, who was the Eclipse Champion Sprinter at 6. All told, Straight No Chaser won seven of his 14 starts, on dirt and turf, for earnings of over $2.6 million.
A leggy, well-balanced horse with more scope to him than we expected, Straight No Chaser enters stud in 2026 at WinStar Farm.
