Bio
Olympiad broke his maiden in his second career start at Saratoga on Sept. 5, 2020. He rated off the pace and drew away to win by 2 3/4 lengths, covering seven furlongs in 1:22.78 under Junior Alvarado.
Following that performance, Olympiad went to the sidelines, and did not return to the races for almost a year. He made his comeback in a first-level allowance race at Saratoga on Sept. 4, 2021. He finished second, beaten 4 1/4 lengths. He bounced back with a win in a first-level allowance at Keeneland on Oct. 14.

He finished second, beaten 4 1/4 lengths. He bounced back with a win in a first-level allowance at Keeneland on Oct. 14.
Olympiad made his graded stakes debut in the Grade 1 Cigar Mile Presented by NYRA Bets at Aqueduct on Dec. 4. He finished fourth, beaten 4 1/2 lengths, but bounced back with an impressive victory in a second-level allowance optional claiming race at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 15, 2022. He added a graded stakes win to his credentials on Feb. 19, when he won the Grade 3 Mineshaft Stakes at Fair Grounds by 2 1/4 lengths. He rated off the pace and wore down Silver Prospector late for the win. His time for 1 1/16 miles of 1:42.01 set a new track record.
Olympiad turned in another impressive performance in the Grade 2 New Orleans Classic Stakes at Fair Grounds on Mar. 26. Once again, he rated right off the pace in the early stages. He took control entering the stretch and drew off to win by two lengths. He ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:47.74, missing the track record by a tenth of a second.
Olympiad went for his fourth consecutive win of 2022 in the Grade 2 Alysheba Stakes Presented by Sentient Jet on the May 6 Longines Kentucky Oaks undercard at Churchill Downs. Sent off as the 9-10 favorite, he stalked the pace through the second turn and moved out for a closing run at the top of the stretch, joined by Grade 1 winner Happy Saver to his outside. That rival took a small lead as the duel commenced, and crowded Olympiad closer to the rail, but Olympiad responded gamely and put Happy Saver away in the final sixteenth, winning by 2 ½ lengths.
Olympiad was bred by Emory Hamilton and sold for $700,000 at the Keeneland September yearling sale in 2019.
