National Treasure is a sixth-generation colt bred by Peter Blum.

In a way, breeder Peter Blum predicted National Treasure ‘s 2023 Preakness Stakes (G1) win some seven years ago.

After starting his homebred daughter of Medaglia d’Oro, Treasure, a couple of times from 2014-2016, Blum opted to retire the mare to the care of Bridie Harrison at Hurricane Place farm near Cynthiana, Ky.
