Raging Sea

Raging Sea won her career debut in a 2-year-old maiden race going seven furlongs at Saratoga on Aug. 7, 2022. She came out of that race to go directly into the Grade 1 Alcibiades at Keeneland on Oct. 7. In the Alcibiades, she raced close-up throughout, zig-zagged between horses in the stretch, and ran on to finish third by a neck but was disqualified and placed fourth.

Raging Sea made her next start in the Grade 1 $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Keeneland, where she drew post 13 in a 13-horse field. Despite the post position, Raging Sea ran a solid effort to place third in the Breeders’ Cup, beaten a total of four lengths.

Raging Sea returned during the second half of 2023 for a truncated 3-year-old season, but she made the best of limited starts toward the end of the year. She won a 1 1/8-mile allowance race at Keeneland on Oct. 20 amd then added a graded stakes win on Nov. 25 in the Grade 3 $200,000 Comely Stakes going 1 1/8 miles on the main track at Aqueduct. Raging Sea came from off the pace in the six-horse field of 3-year-old fillies to win by a nose.

The Curlin filly made her 4-year-old debut in the $300,000 Baird Doubledogdare Stakes April 19 at Keeneland, where she dominanted the opposition in a 3 1/4-length romp under Flavien Prat.

Raging Sea made her second start in 2024 in the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps Stakes and tired late to finish fourth, 4 ¾ lengths behind winner Randomized. She regained her winning form in her next race, opening a clear lead in the stretch of the Grade 2 Shuvee Stakes July 21 at Saratoga and powering to a 2 ½-length score.

Raging Sea is trained by Chad Brown. She was bred in Kentucky out of the mare Stormy Welcome by Storm Cat and hails from the family of breed-shaping sire A.P. Indy and 1990 Preakness Stakes winner Summer Squall.
