Stakes winner of 8 races from 7 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles with earnings of $258,061.
On the board in 14 of 17 career starts, won the William Donald
Schaefer H. at Pimlico.
A brilliant race horse that excited high expectations as a young performer.
He never reached the potential he was obviously capable of due to a racing
injury in his fourth start. His speed, conformation, and wonderful pedigree
lend support to the theory that he will attain greatness in his offspring.
17 Starts: 8 wins (1 stake), 3 seconds (1 stake), 2 thirds (1 stake) earning $258,061.
Possessing brilliant front-running
speed, CANAVERAL won 8 of 17 career starts, from 7 furlongs to 1
1/8 miles, and earned $258,061. He won his first three career starts at
Gulfstream by a combined 19 lengths, including his career debut by 8 3/4
lengths going 7 furlongs in a blistering 1:22 flat and a wire-to-wire score
at 1 1/16 miles over graded stakes winner SIGNAL TAP. In 1996, he
captured the William Donald Schaefer Handicap by 4 1/4 lengths over millionaire
SUNNY SUNRISE and led for one-mile in the $50,000 Walter Haight Handicap
before yielding grudgingly in the final furlong. He also won three consecutive
allowance races at Keeneland and Churchill Downs and placed second in the
$100,000 Governor's Handicap at one-mile after setting all the pace.
 Won $100,000 William Donald Schaefer H.
2nd $100,000 Governor's H.
