Pink Star (foaled 1904 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse and was the winner of the 1907 Kentucky Derby. He was a grandson of 1883 Kentucky Derby winner Leonatus and his sire, Pink Coat, was an American Derby winner.[1]
Pink Star won the Kentucky Derby by two lengths over Zal on a very wet track, with the mud being a fetlock deep in some places. Ridden by Andy Minder, his win was a long shot victory and Pink Star was described by contemporary sources as a lumbering and ugly mount. Pink Star finished in last place for the 1907 Latonia Derby, developing a fever and respiratory infection shortly after the running that permanently impacted his breathing.[2]
By May 1908, Pink Star had been gelded and retired from racing due to poor performance and having a bad temperament. He lived the remainder of his life as a plow horse at the farm of J. Hal Woodford in Louisville, Kentucky.[3] He was noted to be dead by 1914.[4]
