Always Dreaming, the 2017 Kentucky Derby winner, died on Tuesday in Oklahoma at age 10 after a bout with colic led to an intestinal issue.
The post-time favorite at just better than 4-to-1, Always Dreaming won the 143rd Kentucky by 2 3/4 lengths over Lookin at Lee. Always Dreaming was ridden by John Velazquez at Churchill Downs and trained by Todd Pletcher.
The dark bay colt had four wins in 11 career starts, also winning the Florida Derby, with earnings of $2.4 million. The horse was bred by Santa Rosa Partners, sold at Keenland for $350,000 and purchased by Brooklyn Boyz Stables and MeB Stables.
In addition to four wins, Always Dreaming finished in second place twice and also had two third-place finishes. The horse was retired in September 2018 and was held at stud at WinStar Farm in Kentucky, with a move to River Oaks Farms in Sulphur, Okla., set for next year.
