About Lexitonian

An impressive two-year-old debut winner at Belmont, the son of champion Speightstown went on to win the Grade 3 Chick Lang Stakes at three along with the Concern Stakes before hitting the board in the Grade 2 Phoenix Stakes at Keeneland. At four, he ran second by a nose to Collusion Illusion in the Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes. In his five-year-old campaign, he ran second by a head to Flagstaff in the hotly contested Grade 1 Churchill Downs Stakes on Kentucky Derby Day and scored a huge victory in the Grade 1 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap at Saratoga, defeating 2020 Champion male sprinter Whitmore and Grade 1 winners Mischevious Alex and Firenze Fire.

A five-year-old son of prominent sire Speightstown, Lexitonian is the first foal out of the young Tapit mare Riviera Romper. She is a daughter of G1 Test winner Swap Fliparoo that Calumet acquired at the 2015 Keeneland November Sale for $310,000 while carrying him.

"Lexitonian brought a lot of great opportunities to our barn which we are forever grateful for. This is an opportunity for our barn to again thank Lexitonian and to try and give back to the wonderful horses that give us these types of opportunities. If it wasn't for the horses, we wouldn't be here."
