Bred to the Ghostzapper mare More Everything on Feb. 10, the half-sister to stakes winner and Grade 3-placed Bishop's Pond and stakes-placed Black Oak has been scanned in foal for owner Watershed Bloodstock, LLC.

Country House broke his maiden with an eye-catching 3 1/2-length score over 1 1/16 miles at Gulfstream Park. He then finished a fast-closing second to eventual classic winner War of Will in the Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds before finishing fourth in the G2 Louisiana Derby. In his final prep before winning the 145th Kentucky Derby, Country House finished a determined third behind Omaha Beach and Improbable in the G1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park.

A half-brother to graded stakes winner Mitchell Road, Country House is by multiple champion and classic winner Lookin At Lucky, a son of two-time champion sire and sire of sires Smart Strike who is also represented by the likes of Curlin and English Channel, among many others. He is produced from the winning War Chant mare Quake Lake, a half-sister to graded stakes winner and multiple graded stakes-placed Breaking Lucky.
