Overview

The World’s Fastest Three-Year-Old Pacer of all time…

Confederate has proven to be a remarkable talent on the racetrack, showcasing his exceptional speed and determination with every stride.

Bred, born, raced and owned by Diamond Creek, the Richest and Fastest Son of Sweet Lou has certainly made a name for himself. With Geothermal as his dam, Confederate has inherited a winning pedigree that has led to an outstanding record of eighteen victories from twenty-two lifetime race starts. His total earnings of $2,077,554 only further solidify his status as a standout performer in the world of harness racing.

At the age of two, he achieved a remarkable feat by sweeping the Kentucky Sire Stakes Championship Series before winning his Breeders Crown elimination, finishing the year a near second in the final.

At the age of three, he triumphed in thirteen out of fifteen starts for the season, with eleven of those victories happening consecutively. It was a remarkable season for Confederate as he claimed victories in the most prestigious races such as the Meadowlands Pace, Cane Pace, Max Hempt Memorial, North American Cup eliminations, Bluegrass Series, Tattersalls Pace, Matron Stakes, and the Breeders Crown. He set a new world record for a three-year-old pacing colt by clocking 1:46.1 at The Red Mile during a KYSS leg and became the fastest three-year-old harness racing pacer of all time.

Confederate achieved top rankings across all leaderboards for three-year-old pacers in the United States during the 2023 season. Additionally, Confederate emerged as the leading performer of earnings among all aged horses and boasts the title of the fastest horse of 2023, recording his impressive time of 1:46.1.

Confederate has been massively supported in the Northern Hemisphere, boasting a full and closed book for his inaugural season at Stud.

“He’s so much fun to drive. In this era, you don’t see horses consistently come from off the pace and beat their competition week in and week out, and he’s done it his whole career. In this day and age, especially in the 3-year-old group, you’ve got to be aggressive, be up close. He’s been able to not leave the gate too much and still win races. I think that’s cool.”
