Terry Bradshaw’s Taken By The Wind Captures Grade 3 Pocahontas at Churchill Downs

The victory awarded key Kentucky Oaks qualifying points, positioning the juvenile for Breeders’ Cup consideration.

Overview

  • The 2-year-old won the $251,250 race by 5¼ lengths to improve to 2-0.
  • The performance earned $136,710 in prize money and 10 points toward the 2026 Kentucky Oaks.
  • Ken McPeek trains the filly for co-owners Magdalena Racing, Graham Leveston and Bradshaw, marking the trainer’s fifth Pocahontas win.
  • Purchased for $20,000 at the 2024 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearling Sale, the filly has rapidly increased her value with a graded stakes victory.
  • Bradshaw celebrated on Fox NFL Sunday, joking that host Curt Menefee had turned down a chance to buy half the horse.
