Stevie Wonderboy (foaled 2003 in Kentucky) is a retired Thoroughbred race horse.

Background

Stevie Wonderboy is owned by the Merv Griffin Ranch Company. He was bred in Kentucky by John Gunther, Tony Holmes and Walter Zent. He was trained by Doug O'Neill, in all of his lifetime starts and was ridden by Garrett Gomez. Stevie Wonderboy is the son of Stephen Got Even out of the mare Heat Lightning, a daughter of the Storm Bird colt, Summer Squall. His grandsire is U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, A.P. Indy.

His breeding line includes such notable horses as Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Bold Ruler and Northern Dancer.

Racing career

Competing in 2005, his performances that year, capped off by a win in the fall's Breeders' Cup Juvenile, earned him the Eclipse Award for Outstanding 2-Year-Old Male Horse. Going into the 2006 racing season he was expected to be a contender for the U.S. Triple Crown. However, on February 7, 2006, it was announced that Stevie Wonderboy had suffered a hairline fracture in his ankle. On February 8, a screw was inserted into his leg to correct the fracture. The announcement was made that he would not race in the Kentucky Derby or any of the Triple Crown races. In July 2007, it was announced that Stevie Wonderboy had retired.

gollark: Also, `help` is annoying sometimes too - some just display a list of commands, some DM it to you, some have a weird paginated interface using reactions, and not all do search.

gollark: There are few cases when you actually want to prefix messages with punctuation.

gollark: It'd be clearer than wondering "did I get the prefix right? is the bot working? maybe I got it mixed up? is the spelling right?"

gollark: And list some commands similar in spelling to what you typed.

gollark: Say "command not found" maybe.
