Blind Luck (foaled April 20, 2007 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. She is a daughter of Pollard's Vision, winner of the Illinois Derby and the Lone Star Derby, and Lucky One.
Blind Luck was purchased for $11,000 as a yearling at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Select Sale of 2008 and is now owned by her trainer, Jerry Hollendorfer, as well as Mark Dedomenico, John Carver, and Peter Abruzzo.
Blind Luck won four of her six career juvenile starts. Two of her wins were in Grade I stakes races: the Oak Leaf Stakes and the Hollywood Starlet Stakes. She also placed third in the Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies behind Shebewild and second in the Grade I Del Mar Debutante Stakes to Mi Sueno.
Las Virgenes Stakes
Blind Luck made her 3-year-old debut a winning one in the Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes where she rallied to win by a nose over Evening Jewel.
Santa Anita Oaks
In the Grade I, $250,000 Santa Anita Oaks, Blind Luck closed well but found herself trapped on the inside until the final sixteenth of a mile. She rallied late but fell short by 3/4 lengths, coming in third behind Crisp and All Due Respect.
Fantasy Stakes
In the Grade II Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn Park on April 3, she won as a come-from-behind favorite, taking the race by 2½ lengths.
