Cherokee Run (foaled 1990 in Florida) is an American thoroughbred stallion racehorse. He was sired by 1982 Canadian Hall of Fame inductee, Runaway Groom, who in turn was a son of leading sire, Blushing Groom. He was out of the mare, Cherokee Dame, who is the daughter of Silver Saber, and traces directly back to Nearco, War Admiral, and Tom Fool.
Cherokee Run got his start as a two-year-old under trainer, Frank Gomez at Calder Race Course. He ran a total of seven times, winning five, including placing second in the What A Pleasure Stakes.
At three, he was sent to trainer, Frank Alexander. Among his accomplishments, he took the Dwyer Stakes, the Derby Trial, the Lafayette Stakes, and placed second in the Preakness Stakes to Prairie Bayou.
At four, he placed second to Holy Bull in the Metropolitan Handicap, and went on to win the Breeder's Cup Sprint. He also placed second in the A Phenomenom Handicap and the Tom Fool Stakes, and third in the Vosburgh Stakes and the Carter Handicap.
At five, he won the $100,000 Gulfstream Park Sprint Handicap.
