Colonial Affair (foaled 1990 in Middleburg, Virginia, at Rutledge Farm, by Mr. and Mrs. Hermen Greenberg) is an American thoroughbred stallion racehorse. He was sired by 1981 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Pleasant Colony, out of the mare, Snuggle.

Trained by the 1992 U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, Scotty Schulhofer, he is best known for his win in the 1993 Belmont Stakes under female jockey, Julie Krone as the 13-1 longshot. Unfortunately, during this race, the Preakness Stakes winner, Prairie Bayou broke down, and had to be euthanized on the backstretch.

[edit] Retirement

Colonial Affair was originally retired in 1995 to Gainsway Farm. He was then supposed to be sent to New Zealand in 1998 but was instead sent to Japan and currently stands privately at stud at Haras El Paraiso in Argentina.
