Bio
From the first crop of champion Lookin At Lucky, Madefromlucky broke his maiden by 4 3/4 lengths then followed it up by a 1 1/2 length victory in an allowance race. Trainer Todd Pletcher shipped him to Arkansas for the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes, his first attempt at a stakes race and he ran a credible second behind champion American Pharoah. While the colt finished fourth in the Arkansas Derby, he earned enough points in the two Derby preps to qualify for the Kentucky Derby.
From the first crop of champion Lookin At Lucky, Madefromlucky broke his maiden by 4 3/4 lengths then followed it up by a 1 1/2 length victory in an allowance race. Trainer Todd Pletcher shipped him to Arkansas for the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes, his first attempt at a stakes race and he ran a credible second behind champion American Pharoah. While the colt finished fourth in the Arkansas Derby, he earned enough points in the two Derby preps to qualify for the Kentucky Derby.
His connections intead opted to bypass the Kentucky Derby and target the Grade 2 Peter Pan Stakes as a prep for the Belmont Stakes. Madefromlucky won the Peter Pan by a length before finishing sixth behind Triple Crown victor American Phaoroah in the Belmont Stakes.
Eight weeks after the Belmont, Madefromlucky renounded in a big way by posting a comfortable win in the $750,000 West Virginia Derby. He was winless in his final three starts of 2015, with a couple of runner-up finishes.
Madefromlucky opened his 4-year-old campaign with an eighth-place finish in the Grade 1 Donn Handicap before finishing third in the Stymie Stakes at Aqueduct. He then finished second in the Grade 3 Excelsior Stakes but not race again until December, when he checked in fourth in the Grade 3 Harlan’s Holiday Stakes.
Madefromlucky continued to race at age 5, kicking off his season with a third in the Poseidon Handicap on the Pegasus World Cup Invitational undercard. He then finished third twice in his next four starts – all in stakes – before breaking through with his first win in over two years when romping by 12 ¼ lengths in the 1 ½-mile Grade 3 Greenwood Cup at Parx Racing on Labor Day 2017.
A $150,000 2-year-old purchase, Madefromlucky has a solid pedigree behind him. His sire Lookin At Lucky was a champion at 2 and 3 and won the 2010 Preakness Stakes. The stallion was also one of the leading freshman sires in 2014. Madefromlucky's dam Home From Oz is a full sibling to a familiar name in leading supersire Tapit, who sired the 2014 Belmont Stakes winner Tonalist. If that's not enough, the colt's pedigree also includes champions Rubiano and Summer Bird.
