About
Faithful Departed is a 3yo colt from the United States trained by Grant T. Forster. He is by the stallion Yoshida out of the mare Speed Seeker. To date, Faithful Departed has captured three victories. On 31 May 2026 at Churchill Downs, he earned his biggest triumph, winning the $275,000 Regret Stakes. The horse has been a reliable money‑maker for bettors; a lifelong backer would have realized a 173% return on investment.
