RIDE OF A LIFETIME – 2022 Chestnut Colt by Vekoma out of Ciomara (Broken Vow) – Kentucky Bred
Ride of a Lifetime is what you look for in an outstanding equine athlete. At 16 hands as a newly turned 2 year-old, this handsome chestnut colt has a strong & solid build with great lines. He pairs that physical with a big, fluid walk and has a good mind to boot. He was bred on the same cross as outstanding Grade 1 winners, LEOFRIC, GIFT BOX, SEPARATIONOFPOWERS, BEYOND BRILLIANT & ROCK YOUR WORLD.
He is by the exciting Freshman Sire and outstanding racehorse, VEKOMA. Vekoma was a beast on the race track by all measures. He was a multiple Grade 1 winner who displayed outstanding speed from 6 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles while earning $1,245,525 in his brilliant career. Along with his brilliance on the track, he is also one of the best-bred stallions standing at stud in the world. Some highlights for Vekoma:
