Bio
Clapton became a graded stakes winner for the first time in his career as a 4-year-old with a victory in the Grade 3 $150,000 Ghostzapper Stakes at Gulfstream Park on April 1, 2023. Before that, Clapton had accumulated four wins over the course of his first 19 races, including the maiden win which came as a 2-year-old in July 24, 2021, at Gulfstream Park, and an ungraded stakes win in the Gil Campbell Memorial Handicap on Oct. 1, 2022 at Gulfstream Park.

On April 1, 2023, Clapton again won the Grade 3 Ghostzapper Stakes at Gulfstream Park. This time the win launched Clapton into more graded stakes races against older horses, in which he finished third in the Grade 3 Pimlico Special May 19, second in the Grade 2 Suburban Stakes at Belmont Park on July 8, and fourth in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Saratoga on Sept. 2.
Clapton came out on top at Churchill Downs on Sept. 30 in the Grade 2 $500,000 Lukas Classic, coming from far off the pace to catch the leaders in the stretch and eventually prevailed by a head as the 8-1 fourth choice on the tote board in a field of eight horses.
Clapton was bred in Florida by the sire Brethren out of the mare Alexandra Rylee by Afleet Alex.
