Bahamian Bounty (10 February 1994 – 2 March 2020) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was named European Champion Two-Year-Old Colt at the 1996 Cartier Racing Awards. In his championship season, Bahamian Bounty won three of his five races including two Group One races, the Prix Morny in France and the Middle Park Stakes in England. He was retired after two unsuccessful starts in 1997 and later stood as a stallion at the National Stud at Newmarket, Suffolk. Background Bahamian Bounty was bred in the United Kingdom by Clarents Racing Ltd. His sire, Cadeaux Genereux won several major sprint races including the Nunthorpe Stakes and the July Cup. At stud he sired over 1,000 winners including Touch of the Blues (Atto Mile), Bijou d'Inde (St James's Palace Stakes) and Toylsome (Prix de la Forêt). Bahamian Bounty's dam, Clarentia was a sprinter who won three races, all over the minimum distance of five furlongs. Bahamian Bounty was sold as a yearling for 45,000 gns to the Lucayan Stud, the name used for the horse racing interests of Edward St. George. St. George was a British businessman who lived in The Bahamas and gave the "Bahamian" prefix to the names of many of his racehorses including Bahamian Pirate (Nunthorpe Stakes) and Bahamian Knight (Derby Italiano). Bahamian Bounty was originally sent into training with David Loder at Newmarket. In October 1996 he was bought privately by Sheikh Mohammed for his Godolphin organisation for a reported fee of £1 million. At the end of the season he was moved to the stable of Saeed bin Suroor, spending the winter in Dubai before returning to Britain in spring 1997. He was ridden in five of his seven starts by Frankie Dettori. Racing career 1996: two-year-old season Bahamian Bounty made his racecourse debut in July in a six-furlong maiden race at Newmarket. he raced prominently and briefly led a furlong from the finish before being beaten a neck by Grapeshot. Twelve days later he was dropped down in trip for a five-furlong maiden race at Yarmouth, for which he started at the unusual odds of 1/11. As the betting suggested, he proved far too good for his four opponents, going clear in the final quarter mile and winning by two and a half lengths in a "canter". In August, Bahamian Bounty was moved directly to Group One level for the Prix Morny at Deauville.
