Bio
After winning three of his first nine starts racing on the Midwest circuit, Higher Power was bought by Hronis Racing and sent to California and John Sadler. He subsequently won a one-mile allowance-optional claiming race at Santa Anita in June 2019 and followed with a runner-up effort in the July 21 Wickerr Stakes at Del Mar.

Higher Power was then entered in the Aug. 17 TVG Pacific Classic Stakes and at Del Mar. Picking up leading jockey Flavien Prat for the Pacific Classic proved a big plus as Prat made a bid for the lead entering the far turn and Higher Power accelerated explosively to take a commanding lead in early stretch en route to a runaway victory. The Medalia d'Oro colt earned his first career stakes win in a Grade 1 race.
Higher Power stumbled at the start of the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes Sept. 28 at Santa Anita and rallied to finish third. He also took third in the Nov. 2 Longines Breeders' Cup Classic at the same track, making up some ground late but still finishing 8 ½ lengths behind winner Vino Rosso.
Higher Power is out of multiple stakes winner Alternate, by Seattle Slew, who also is the dam of multiple Grade 2 winner Alternation and multiple stakes winner Interrupted.
