Bio
Nagirroc, a Lea colt, finished second in his debut Aug. 22, 2022 at Horseshoe Indianapolis but improved his form considerably once shipped to New York. He broke his maiden by 3 ½ lengths in a six furlong sprint held on Aqueduct’s turf course during the fall 2022 Belmont at the Big A meet and then came right back at the same course and distance to win the Grade 3 Futurity Stakes by a neck. Nagirroc earned an automatic berth to the Nov. 4 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint with the victory.

Nagirroc earned an automatic berth to the Nov. 4 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint with the victory.
Even though he was qualified for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint, trainer Graham Motion instead opted to stretch the colt out and entered Nagirroc in the Grade 1 $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at one mile on Friday, Nov. 4 at Keeneland. The move paid off to a certain degree when Nagirroc outran 39-1 odds to record a solid third-place finish as the best finishing American-based runner in the 14-horse field.
Kentucky-bred Nagirroc is out of the winning Zamindar mare Emma Spencer.
