Summer Squall, with Racing Hall of Fame jockey Pat Day up, after their 1990 Blue Grass Stakes win.

Sporting Cot Campbell’s Dogwood Stable colors, Summer Squall went undefeated in all five of his starts as a two-year-old. By his three-year-old season in 1990, Summer Squall was a fixture among racing rans, best known for his rivalry with Unbridled.

Summer Squall bested Unbridled in four of their six meetings. The Neil Howard-trained colt won the 1990 Blue Grass Stakes by 1 3/4 lengths, while Unbridled trailed in third on a muddy track.

Summer Squall finished second behind Unbridled in the 1990 Kentucky Derby, but he would go on to beat his rival by 2 1/4 lengths in the Preakness Stakes two weeks later.
