What we do have is his bloodline, and it is a decent one. His father, Constitution, was one of the best horses in North America — a multiple Grade 1 winner who pushed American Pharoah, the legendary Triple Crown champion, all the way in a classic clash. His mother's side traces back through Medaglia d'Oro, another high-class American stallion who produced a string of top-level winners. On paper, Chief Wallabee comes from a family that knows how to perform on a big stage.
He is three years old, which is the prime age for a horse making his first appearance. Everything else — whether he handles the track, how he responds to competition, whether all that breeding translates into actual ability — we find out when the stalls open.
