Jumpin Joseph (foaled 1966 in Ontario) is a Canadian Thoroughbred Champion racehorse.

Background

Jumpin Joseph was bred by William Beasley and raced by his son, Warren. Out of the stakes-winning mare, Skinny Minny, a daughter of the 1949 Kentucky Derby winner, Ponder, he was a son of Australian sire Pago Pago whose racing wins included the 1963 Golden Slipper Stakes.

Trained by Bobby Bateman,

Racing career

As a two-year-old, Jumpin Joseph won stakes races at his home base at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. At age three his wins included Canada's most prestigious race, the Queen's Plate and a track record equalling victory in the Achievement Handicap. The colt's 1969 performances earned him Canadian Horse of the Year honors.

Stud record

Retired from racing, Jumpin Joseph stood at stud in Canada until being sent to breeders in Australia for the 1975 season. He met with limited success as a sire.
