Trained by Bob Baffert, Goal Oriented consistently proved himself at the highest level, competing against elite company throughout the season. In addition to his Malibu triumph, he was Grade I placed in both the Haskell Stakes and the Pennsylvania Derby, retiring sound with earnings exceeding $624,000. His combination of brilliance, durability, and class made him a standout of his generation.

He will stand at Spendthrift Farm beginning in 2026 with an introductory fee of $30,000 S&N. Runnymede Farm is immensely proud to see a homebred reach the pinnacle of the sport and transition to the next chapter of his career as a stallion.
