Ottinho

Ottinho debuted with a third-place finish Nov. 23, 2025, at Aqueduct but reached the winner’s circle in his second race with a front-running victory by a head Dec. 31 at Aqueduct in a 1 1/8-mile race.

The bay Quality Road colt made his stakes debut at the same track and distance Feb. 6 in the $200,000 Withers Stakes, a Kentucky Derby qualifying race. He settled off the pace in the Withers and made a belated rally to finish third, beaten by 11 ½ lengths.

Ottinho made major strides in his next race and earned a spot in the starting gate for the Kentucky Derby with a runner-up finish in the $1.25 million Toyota Blue Grass Stakes April 4 at Keeneland.

Ottinho was produced by the Grade 2-winning Giant’s Causeway mare Quiet Giant, who also is the dam (mother) of 2017 Horse of the Year and sire Gun Runner.
