Overlooked at 14-1 in his stakes debut, NEW YORK HERO surprised a large Turfway Park crowd and national television audience on ESPN when he held off Eugene's Third Son to capture the $500,000 Lane's End S.-G2 by a neck in the spring of 2003. The victory was his third in his first five starts.

The son of Dark Hollow Farm-bred PARTNER'S HERO had an extremely busy campaign that year, making 14 starts, winning four times and finishing second in three others, and being named Maryland-bred champion 3-year-old colt. The next season, his 15 starts included a second in the Gr.3 National Jockey Club H. at Hawthorne and a third in the Jennings H. at Pimlico. Raced through age 7, NEW YORK HERO, went on to earn $628,438.
