Foaled in California, he was bred by William and Ethel Kirkland and raced under Ethel Kirkland's name following her husband's death in 1972. She too died in 1976 and the horse then competed under the Kirkland Stable banner.Gelded before age three because of a very difficult disposition, Ancient Title raced for seven years."@en . . .
