Adirondack King

MarchFore Thoroughbreds named the colt to honor their founder and managing partner, John K. Leonard, who died in February 2011 at the age of 61. Leonard loved Blue Mountain Lake in the central Adirondacks of New York state and purchased Thatcher Island in 1989. MarchFore also named the filly J K L's Legacy for Leonard. Adirondack King, trained by John Servis, was sired by Lawyer Ron out of the fine race mare Jostle, who was trained by Servis.

Adirondack King was purchased as a yearling for $55,000 at the 2010 Keeneland September sale. He broke his maiden on September 13 at Parx Racing in his third career start and added an allowance victory and a win in the Christopher Elser Memorial Stakes to complete his 2-year-old season with a record of 3-1-1 from five starts. After a third-place finish in the Pasco Stakes at Tampa Bay in January, Servis sent him to Oaklawn, where he was third in a division of the Grade 3 Southwest Stakes and seventh in the Grade 2 Rebel.

Adirondack King finished third in his 2013 debut in the Native Dancer Stakes.
