Triple Crown Race wins: (1897)Kentucky Derby |
Typhoon II (foaled April 17, 1894) was an American thoroughbred racehorse that was bred in Tennessee and was the winner of the 1897 Kentucky Derby.
Typhoon won the Derby at 11-5 odds against the favored Ornament on a very muddy track.
Typhoon II was gelded in 1899 and was thereafter stabled at the Kenmore Farm in Lexington, a farm owned by Bromley & Co., to live the remainder of his life as a pensioner.[4] By 1903, Featherstone ordered his trainer, Julius Bauer, to dispose of Typhoon II, as the horse's paddock was needed for another purpose. Bauer gave the horse to a friend in Lexington, who put him to work as a cart horse hauling hay for livestock.[5][6]
