Champion Three-Year-Old West Coast is one of the top runners of his era, having defeated Classic winners Always Dreaming, Cloud Computing and Tapwrit, as well as Champions Arrogate and Stellar Wind. His career is highlighted by back-to-back Grade 1 wins, wiring the Travers S. before annexing the Pennsylvania Derby in effortless fashion. The well-traveled runner has victories at five different tracks, with six triple-digit Beyer Speed Figures and over $5 million in earnings. 

West Coast, a $425,000 Keeneland September buy, is the leading earner by sire Flatter. The bay is out of Champion Two-Year-Old Filly Caressing, which makes him a half-sibling to the graded stakes-placed Juan and Bina and Gold Hawk.

West Coast's stakes winners include West Sunset, Sally’s Sassy, Marz Express and 2024 Silverbulletday S. winner West Omaha, who is a 2024 G1 Kentucky Oaks Contender.
