Blame (foaled May 2, 2006) is a retired American champion Thoroughbred racehorse, a winner of nine races in 13 starts including the prestigious Breeders' Cup Classic.
Blame is a bay homebred colt owned by Claiborne Farm in association with Adele B. Dilschneider. He was sired by Claiborne's Arch out of the Seeking the Gold mare Liable (the 2010 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year). He was trained during his racing career by Al Stall Jr. and partnered with veteran jockey Garrett Gomez during his 2010 championship season.
He never finished out of the money in his racing career; along with his nine wins, he finished second twice and third twice. After being retired at the end of 2010, he was sent to stud at Claiborne Farm.
Blame made his racing debut as a two-year-old on September 13, 2008 with Lindey Wade aboard at Turfway Park in Florence, Kentucky, where he ran third in a maiden special weight race.
In his next start on October 17, with Jamie Theriot aboard, Blame broke his maiden, capturing his first win, a maiden special weight race over seven furlongs at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky. Blame came from seven lengths back, making a five-wide move down the stretch to defeat Flying Warrior by a length, winning $31,225 of the $50,000 purse.
His winnings for his two-race season totaled $33,425.
Blame began 2009 by finishing third in an allowance race with Garrett Gomez again aboard on June 12 at Churchill Downs, three lengths behind winner Guam Typhoon.
