Jumpin Joseph (foaled 1966 in Ontario) is a Canadian Thoroughbred Champion racehorse.

Background

[edit]

Jumpin Joseph was bred by William Beasley and raced by his son, Warren. Out of the stakes-winning mare, Skinny Minny, a daughter of the 1949 Kentucky Derby winner, Ponder, he was a son of Australian sire Pago Pago whose racing wins included the 1963 Golden Slipper Stakes.

Trained by Bobby Bateman,

Racing career

[edit]

As a two-year-old, Jumpin Joseph won stakes races at his home base at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. At age three his wins included Canada's most prestigious race, the Queen's Plate [1] and a track record equalling victory in the Achievement Handicap. The colt's 1969 performances earned him Canadian Horse of the Year honours.

Stud record

[edit]

Retired from racing, Jumpin Joseph stood at stud in Canada until being sent to breeders in Australia for the 1975 season. He met with limited success as a sire.
