Who Is Search Party?

Search Party is a 3-year-old bay filly (young female racehorse) born February 15, 2023. She's trained by Mark E. Casse, a championship trainer known for developing quality racehorses, and owned by Tracy Farmer. She was bred in Kentucky and comes from champion racing bloodlines.

Her Family Tree

Search Party has an impressive pedigree. Her dad is Gun Runner, one of the greatest racehorses ever, who earned $15.9 million and won many important races at top tracks. Her mom is Devious Charm, who descended from Into Mischief, a Grade 1 champion. Having a famous racing superstar as a father gives Search Party excellent genetics for running fast.

What Has She Done So Far?

Search Party has raced 8 times. She won her maiden race on December 27, 2025 (1-1/16 miles) at 9-5 odds after finishing third twice earlier. Recently, she won a stakes race at Oaklawn Park on February 6, 2026 (1-1/16 miles) by just a nose (extremely close finish!) at 4-1 odds. However, her most recent race on March 27, 2026 was a tough loss—she finished 2nd by 5.5 lengths in another Oaklawn Park stakes at 1-1/16 miles.

What Matters: Why Root for Search Party

Search Party comes from one of the greatest racehorses ever as her father. She has a championship trainer guiding her development. She just won a stakes race, proving she can compete at higher levels. She's continuing to improve and learn.

Caution: What Could Stop Her

Search Party only has 8 races total—still inexperienced. She hasn't raced far beyond 1-1/16 miles, so we don't know if she can handle longer distances. Her recent loss was significant, showing she can be beaten. She needs more consistent winning to prove she's truly a top contender.
