Bio
Cloud Computing was impressive in winning his career debut on Feb. 11 at Aqueduct and trainer Chad Brown opted to test him in a graded stakes in his second race. He made a strong bid entering the stretch of the Grade 3 Gotham Stakes but could not match strides with winner J Boys Echo. The runner-up finish, however, placed him on the Triple Crown trail for owners Klaravich Stables and William H. Lawrence.

In his final prep for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands, Cloud Computing broke a step slowly in the Wood Memorial Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets but fought willingly to finish third. Connections opted to skip the Derby and wait for the Preakness Stakes, a choice that proved wise when Cloud Computing closed late to defeat Classic Empire and capture the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
Following the Preakness, Cloud Computing was given an extended break. He returned in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets and finished last of five, and followed that up with another disappointing effort when eighth in the Travers Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets on Aug. 26.
Multiple graded stakes-placed winner Quick Temper, by 1992 Horse of the Year A.P. Indy, is the dam (mother) of Cloud Computing. She finished second in the Grade 2 Silverbulletday Stakes at Fair Grounds in 2004. Grade 1 winner Halo America, by Waquoit, is Cloud Computing's grandam (maternal grandmother).
