Finger Lakes Horse of the Year
1992, 1993

Lordofthemountain thrilled racing fans with his blazing speed and "catch me if you can" style for seven years. He won the Wine Country Handicap in 1990, 1991 and 1993, and the George W. Barker Stakes in 1991 and 1994. His brightest moment may have been in defeat during the 1992 Grade III Finger Lakes Breeders' Cup, when he set a blistering pace against some of the nation's best sprinters, and held on gamely to be beaten by just over two lengths. He was retired after winning a handicap sprint at Finger Lakes on September 17, 1995. Lordofthemountain won 17 of 39 starts for Onteora Farm at Finger Lakes, including five stakes races. He won 17 of 36 starts from 1990 through 1993, including victories at Saratoga and Belmont Park. From July 1992 through May 1994, Lordofthemountain won five straight times at Finger Lakes against allowance, handicap and stakes competition.
