Source-derived summary

Onlyforyou (April 9, 2011 – March 15, 2014) was an American Thoroughbred racemare.

Background

Onlyforyou was a bay mare who had an irregular star. She was a daughter of Malibu Moon, the very successful sire whose progeny included Kentucky Derby winner Orb, American Champion Two-Year-Old Male Horse Declan's Moon, plus multiple Grade 1 winners including Japan's Obrushev. Onlyforyou's dam Erhu was an allowance horse who finished third in the Mint Julep Stakes and was a winner of three races. Onlyforyou was bought during the Keeneland September sale for $115,000. She was owned by the Greathouse brothers, John, David, Allen, and Edward, proprietors of the Glencrest Farm LLC near Midway, Kentucky. They entrusted Onlyforyou's training to future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Todd Pletcher.

Two-year old season

Onlyforyou began her career as a late two-year-old. She made her racing debut on November 10, 2013, at Aqueduct Racetrack. At the start of the race she broke in, bumping one of her opponents.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “american-bred Thoroughbred racehorse” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30678551. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2014 and 2013.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
