Okay, so, let me tell you about this whole “National Treasure horse” thing. I saw this title pop up, and, you know, I’m always up for a good treasure hunt, even if it’s just online. I was like, “What’s this now? A new movie? Some old artifact?” Nope, turned out to be a real, live racehorse. Who would’ve thought, right?
First thing I did was hit up my good old search engine. I just typed in “National Treasure horse” and boom! Tons of stuff came up. Not what I was expecting, to be honest. I was thinking more along the lines of, you know, hidden maps and secret societies, like that Nicolas Cage movie. But hey, a horse named National Treasure? That’s kinda cool too, I guess.
So, I started clicking around. This horse, National Treasure, he’s apparently a big deal. Won the Preakness Stakes in 2023, which I found out is a pretty major horse race. And just this year, 2024, he bagged the Pegasus World Cup. I mean, this horse is like, the real deal. He is an American thoroughbred racehorse. I guess it makes sense to give a winning horse a grand name like that.
I dug a little deeper, trying to find out more about him. He’s a “three-time Grade 1-winning son of Quality Road.” I’m not a horse racing expert, but that sounds impressive. And get this, he’s retired now. Yeah, just like some famous person. And he’s going to live at this fancy farm, Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky. They’re even planning to have him “stand stud” there in 2025. I guess that’s how they make more champion horses.
- Born: March 17, 2020
- Big Wins: 2023 Preakness Stakes, 2024 Pegasus World Cup
- Retired: Will live at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky
- Future Plans: Will stand stud in 2025
What I’ve found
Honestly, this whole thing was a surprise. I went in expecting some movie trivia and ended up learning about a superstar racehorse. It’s not every day you stumble upon something like that. Life’s full of surprises, eh? I guess the name “National Treasure” really fits this horse. He’s a winner, a champion, and now he’s going to live the good life in retirement. Not a bad way to end a career, if you ask me.
