Unbridled (born 1987 - October 18, 2001) was a champion American thoroughbred racehorse.

The colt was sired by Fappiano (10 wins in 17 starts), by Mr. Prospector, and his dam Gana Facil, by Le Fabuleux. After racing for only three years, Unbridled retired with a career record of 8 wins, 6 places and 6 shows in 24 starts, and $4,489,475 in career earnings.

In 1989 at age two, Unbridled won the What A Pleasure Stakes and placed in all six of his starts. At age three, he won the Grade I Kentucky Derby by 3 1/2 lengths, and was second in the Preakness Stakes to Summer Squall. He also won the Grade I Florida Derby by four lengths. In the fall, ridden by Pat Day, he won the 1 1/4 mile Breeders' Cup Classic at Belmont Park in 2:02.20 minutes. His performance for the year earned him the prestigious Eclipse Award as Champion 3-year-old male of 1990.

Racing as a four year old, he won the Deputy Minister Handicap at Gulfsteam Park and placed second in the Fayette Handicap, placing behind Summer Squall.

In September of 2001, Unbridled underwent two operations at Hagyard-Davidson-McGee veterinary clinic, near Lexington, Kentucky. He was euthanized at the clinic after a severe bout of colic.

Unbridled sired 292 runners that produced 183 winners (38 of those stakes winners) out of 437 foals earning over $31 million by 2000. Ten of his offspring were Grade I Stakes winners, four were classic winners, and three received Eclipse Awards. Unbridled is the last Kentucky Derby winner to sire another Derby winner, Grindstone, who placed first in the Kentucky Derby in 1996.

Some of Unbridled's offspring include:

Colts/Horses: Unbridled's Song, Grindstone, Empire Maker, Eddington, Red Bullet, Anees, Unshaded, Saarland, Mustanfar, Rebridled, Malabar Gold, Unbridled Jet, Niigon, Greed is Good and Pupil.

Fillies/Mares: Banshee Breeze, Halfbridled, Exogenous, Broken Vow, Santa Catarina, Surya, Lady Ballade, Happily Unbridled, Boom Town Girl, Unrestrained, Manistique and Belterra.
