Digital Age (IRE)

Digital Age got off to a slow start in his career debut on Jan. 19, 2019, at Tampa Bay Downs, but he rallied powerfully to win by 1 1/4 lengths. He followed with a stakes win at Tampa, where he closed from 10 lengths back to prevail by a head in the Columbia Stakes.

Digital Age made his graded stakes debut on the 2019 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve undercard in the American Turf Stakes presented by Ram Trucks. The bay Invincible Spirit colt again charged from off the pace to catch graded stakes winner A Thread of Blue in deep stretch and improve to three wins in as many starts.

Following that score, Digital Age went winless in his six starts, finishing second in the lucrative Saratoga Derby in August 2019 and also second in his 4-year-old debut in a June 2020 allowance optional claiming race at Belmont Park. He got back into the winner’s circle in his subsequent start, taking an allowance optional claiming race on July 18 at Saratoga, and then regained his stakes-winning form when shipped back to Churchill Downs on the Sept. 5 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve undercard.

With Javier Castellano in the irons, Digital Age rallied past pacesetter Factor This to earn his second graded stakes win and first Grade 1 score in the Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic Stakes.
