“Miracle Horse” Catemaco, whose life was gallantly saved by his trainer and breeder Kristin Mulhall in July 2017 at the age of four months, has recovered from a lingering cough that has prevented him from training and racing recently.
Mulhall hopes to have the 4-year-old California-bred son of Girolamo owned by Twilight Racing and Steve Taub ready run at Del Mar, which opens July 17.
“He s such a big horse and I didn t want to rush him,” said Mulhall, whose rapid and rudimentary emergency action after the colt was bitten by a Black Widow spider saved him from death going on four years ago.

The Catemaco story reads like a chapter right out of “Frankenstein,” Mary Shelley s classic 1818 horror novel of a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment.
But Catemaco s tale has a happy ending.
A 4-year-old colt bred in California on March 23, 2017, Catemaco won his first start Friday by a widening four lengths at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., leading throughout six furlongs in a sprightly 1:09.08, paying $30.60 to his scattered backers and earning $36,000 for owners Twilight Racing LLC and Steve Taub, all pretty remarkable facts in their own right.
But truth be told, it s a miracle Catemaco is even alive.
