Hasty Road (1951–1978) was an American thoroughbred racehorse which won the 1954 Preakness Stakes. In 1953, Hasty Road won six of his nine races including the Arlington Futurity and the Washington Park Futurity, and set a record for prize money won by a two-year-old. In 1954 Hasty Road defeated Determine in track record time in the Derby Trial and then finished second to the same horse in the Kentucky Derby. At Pimlico Race Course in May he recorded his most important victory when winning the Preakness Stakes by a neck from Correlation. The rest of his three-year-old campaign wasn't as good, but he returned to form to win the Widener Handicap in February 1955 before his racing career was ended by injury.
Hasty Road was a huge bay horse with a distinctive white blaze, bred by Clifford Mooers of Walnut Springs Farm in Kentucky. He was sired by Roman, out of Traffic Court, a mare who also produced 1955 Woodward Stakes winner Traffic Judge. As a descendant of the broodmare Traverse, Traffic Court was also related to the successful racehorse and sire Bold Bidder. Traffic Court died in 1952 but was posthumously named broodmare of the year by the Kentucky Thoroughbred Breeders' Association in 1955.
