Wild Desert (foaled March 24, 2002, in Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian-ridden Thoroughbred racehorse that won the Queen's Plat of 2005, Canada's most prestigious race and the oldest annual race race in North America. [1]
Originally trained by Kenneth McPeek, following a poor performance at the 2005 Arkansas Derby, [2] the horse was transferred to coach Richard Dutrow, Jr. The foals do not race again until the June 26th Platoon Queen.

Controversial Queen's Contest Victory
At the time of running the $ 1 million Queen Plate, coach Richard Dutrow, Jr. was under suspension after his two horses were tested positive for a banned substance. Robert Frankel became the record coach just days before the race. In 2007, Dutrow was fined and suspended for providing misleading information about where Wild Desert was working ahead of the race. [3] The horse record indicates that he has only two less than stellar drills before the Queen's Plate, but an investigation by the racing authority reveals that he has been practicing in secret. [4] The controversy was added because the main owner Daniel Borislow won the $ 100,000 of bets he made in the Wild Desert to win the race. [5] [6] Horses won three races from twenty career starts; Queen's Plate is the only big win of her career.
The retirement for the stud duties for Sanford Goldfarb owners, Michael Dubb, Carl Gessler, Jr., and Mal Burroughs, Wild Desert stood at McMahon from Saratoga Thoroughbred near Saratoga Springs, New York until 2009 but transferred to the Unbridled Stable near Greenville, New York, to season 2010.
