About

Day One Starter is a 2yo colt from the United States trained by Claude R. McGaughey III. He is by the stallion Upstart out of the mare Psychadelacized. So far he has recorded one win. On 14 September 2025 at Belmont’s Big A, he secured his most important victory, taking the $85,000 purse. The horse has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 150 % return on investment.
