Miracle Mike

International Equine was first approached to join the syndicate on Miracle Mike in the spring of 2022.   Brian DiDonato of Franklin Avenue Equine had just signed the ticket for Mike at the OBS Sale and reached out to see if we would like to come aboard.  We were impressed with his breeze, his walk, and his potential, and gladly signed on as a listed partner.

In 2022-23, Miracle Mike was trained by Hall of Fame Trainer Todd Pletcher.  He finished a game second on debut, and after a few physical setbacks in 2022, Mike re-entered training in 2023 and had a great year.  He broke his maiden with an explosive late kick under Jose Ortiz to win a 9-furlong turf race at Belmont Park in June.  He later followed that breakthrough with a solid placing in the $250,000 Albany Stakes at Saratoga.  Under the conditioning of trainer Tom Morley, Miracle Mike had another highly successful year in 2024, with a win and five board hits in seven starts.

We continue to be excited for his future. Mike is a multi-dimensional horse who can perform on both dirt and turf.  As of November of 2024, Mike has earned over $181,000 and has a career record of two wins, one place and seven shows in seventeen lifetime starts.    He will winter in Ocala Florida and will return to racing in the spring of 2025.
