Bio
Effinex broke his maiden as a 3-year-old at second asking but spent much of the year in allowance and state-bred stakes company. The colt had a breakthrough year in 2015 when he won the Grade 3 Excelsior Stakes and the Grade 2 Suburban Handicap while also finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Woodward and third in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup. At the end of the year, he finished second to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah in the Breeders' Cup Classic and then won the Grade 1 Clark Handicap by three-quarters of a length.

Effinex made his 2016 debut in the Santa Anita Handicap and finished third in the Grade 1 race. He then won the Grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap before an uncharacteristically dull sixth-place effort in the Grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap. Effinex was back on top of his game in his next starts, however, when held off Samraat to score a repeat win in the Suburban Handicap.
Effinex is the first foal out of the multiple stakes-winning E Dubai mare What a Pear. He is by 2003 Horse of the Year Mineshaft and was bred by his current owner, who races in the name of Tri-Bone Stables.
