Minaret Station scored an upset win in the Castle & Key Bourbon Stakes in his third career start as a 2-year-old on Oct. 6, 2024, at Keeneland Race Course. Ridden by Cristian Torres, Minaret Station saved ground and rallied past Clock Tower and golden Afternoon in the final strides to prevail by 1 ½ lengths. The win earned him an expenses-paid berth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Nov. 1 at Del Mar, but the Bourbon Stakes ended up being the final start of his three-race juvenile season.

Minaret Station returned frm an eight-month layoff and was victorious in the $249,000 American Derby going 1 1/16 miles on the turf at Churchill Downs on June 28, 2025, in what was his only race as a 3-year-old during the 2025 calendar year.
As a 4-year-old in 2026, Minaret Station spent much of the year knocking on the door at the graded stakes level with in-the-money finishes in the Grade 3 Arlington Stakes at Churchill Downs and in the Grade 2 Bowling Green Stakes and in th Christophe Clement Turf Stakes at Saratoga. He scored his breakthrough with a victory in the Grade 1 $500,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes going 1 1/2 miles at Belmont Park on Oct. 1. Minaret Station stalked the pace and rallied past horses in the stretch to win by a half a length over Far Bridge with Jose Ortiz aboard.
Minaret Station is from the first crop of sire Instilled Regard out of the Sir Prancelot mare Beau Recall, who won four Grade 2 stakes races on turf and earned over $1.4 million.
