Well Armed (foaled April 4, 2003 in Kentucky) is a retired American Thoroughbred racehorse.

Background

Well Armed was sired by Tiznow out of the stakes-winning mare Well-Dressed, which places Seattle Slew on the top and bottom of his pedigree.[1] Bred and owned by WinStar Farm, he was trained by Eoin Harty.[2]

Racing career

Well Armed raced in England but was laid up with a fractured pelvis after finishing eleventh in the 2006 UAE Derby in Dubai.[3] He did not race again until the fall of 2007 when he finished fourth in his American debut in an allowance race at California's Santa Anita Park.[3]

His most important win to date came on March 28, 2009, at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse when he won the Grade 1 $6 Million Dollar Dubai World Cup by a record 14 lengths over Gloria De Campeao. Well Armed has been ridden in all of his starts in the United States by Aaron Gryder.[4]

In the San Diego Handicap at Del Mar on August 2, 2009, Well Armed made his first appearance since the Dubai World Cup in March. Informed ran down a loose-on-the-lead Mast Track in the final strides to win by a nose in the Grade 2, $250,000 race. Well Armed finished last and was found to have a small chip in his left front ankle. Surgery was performed, and he was sent to the Alamo Pintado Clinic near Solvang, California, where the chip was discovered.

[5]

Well Armed is behind the current earnings of John Henry and Lava Man and may be the second gelding to surpass the $6 million zone.
