Pedigree
Like champion Midshipman, Old Fashioned is by multiple Grade 1-winning millionaire Unbridled’s Song, the hero of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, Florida Derby and Wood Memorial Stakes. Dispatched as the 7-2 favorite in the 1996 Kentucky Derby, he was compromised by foot issues and wound up running in bar shoes, but still turned in a terrific performance to finish fifth. A son of 1990 Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled, Unbridled’s Song now ranks as a successful stallion, with an Average Winning Distance of 7.2 furlongs for his progeny. His top performers have excelled at a range of distances. Unbridled’s Song is responsible for First Defence, hero of the seven-furlong Forego S. (G1); Thorn Song, winner of the Shadwell Turf Mile; Political Force, who just missed in the Metropolitan Mile before capturing the 1 1/4-mile Suburban Handicap; Octave, victress of the 1 1/4-mile Coaching Club American Oaks; Unbridled Elaine, successful in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff; and the gallant but ill-fated Eight Belles, who finished second to Big Brown in last year’s Kentucky Derby while representing the same connections as Old Fashioned.

Trainer
Larry Jones, a native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, has finished second in the Kentucky Derby for the past two years, with Hard Spun in 2007 and the ill-fated Eight Belles in 2008.

Owner
Fox Hill Farms is the nom de course of Richard Porter, a resident of Hobe Sound, Florida. An automobile dealer and lifetime racing fan, Porter has been a horse owner since 1994, and he currently operates a stable of about 35 horses.
