The career of Straight No Chaser kicked into high gear early in his 4-year-old season. After a third-place finish in the Palos Verdes Stakes at Santa Anita on Feb. 5, 2023, Straight No Chaser found the winner's circle for the first time as a 4-year-old when he took an allowance race at Oaklawn by 7 1/4 lengths on April 1.
For his next start, Straight No Chaser was sent to Pimlico to run in the Grade 3 $100,000 Maryland Sprint Stakes on the May 20 Preakness Day undercard. Going six furlongs on the dirt, Straight No Chaser burst out of the gate the fastest and went wire to wire in a time of 1:08.27 to win by 7 1/4 lengths.
Straight No Chaser is trained by Dan Blacker. He was bred in Kentucky by the sire Speightster out of the mare Margarita Friday by Johannesburg.
