Captain Bodgit (foaled in 1994) is a millionaire American Thoroughbred racehorse who is a multiple stakes winner, including the Grade 1 Florida Derby and Grade 2 Wood Memorial. He is best known for his "flying" closing finishes in the first two legs of the U.S. Triple Crown races in 1997. Out of the mare Answering Echo, he was sired by Saint Ballado.
Captain Bodgit was a highly regarded two-year-old colt training in Maryland who won the prestigious Laurel Futurity, a graded stakes race, after winning both the Dover Stakes at Delaware Park and Bimelech Stakes at Laurel Park. Then he shipped to Florida for the winter and spring. In Florida, Captain Bodgit finished third in his first start in the grade three Holy Bull Stakes. After that performance, he was bought by the high-end syndicate Team Valor.
After Team Valor purchased Captain Bodgit, they kept him in the barn of Maryland trainer Gary Capuano. He raced in the grade two Fountain of Youth Stakes and finished third. In his second start for Team Valor, Captain Bodgit upset then-unbeaten champion Pulpit and multiple graded stakes winner Frisk Me Now in the grade one $1,000,000 Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park. He then shipped north to Aqueduct Racetrack in New York, New York, and won the grade one $750,000 Wood Memorial Stakes.
