About
Purple Heart is a 3yo bay horse from the United States trained by J. Keith Desormeaux. He is by Omaha Beach out of Right To Rule. To date, Purple Heart has recorded one win. On 20 Dec 2025 at Fair Grounds, he captured his most important triumph, netting $15,000 in prize money. The horse has been a profit‑generating runner for bettors, and a backer who supported him throughout his career would have realized a 50% return on investment.
