Idratherbeblessed (USA) Horse
About
Idratherbeblessed is a 5yo b from the United States trained by Chris A. Hartman. He is by the stallion Unified out of Celestial Smile. To date, the horse has captured six victories. Its most notable triumph came on 23 March 2025 at Fair Grounds, where it claimed the $300,000 Muniz Memorial Classic S. Presented By Horse Racing Nation (stakes). The animal has been a money‑maker for bettors; backing it throughout its career would have yielded a 160% return on investment.
