Homeboykris (foaled February 13, 2007) is a racehorse bred in Maryland in the United States. A son of Roman Ruler, he was purchased privately by a group headed by restaurateur Louis Lazzinnaro and includes Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre and turned over to Richard Dutrow, Jr. for training. Lazzinnaro purchased Homeboykris from Brenda Tabraue after he broke his maiden at Calder Race Course. Dutrow is known for conditioning the Dual Classic winner Big Brown.
Homeboykris is one of three winners from as many starters out of stakes-place winner One Last Salute, by Salutely. His sire is Roman Ruler, a son of Mr. Prospector. Homeboykris's most important win to date is the Grade I Champagne Stakes, which he won by 11/2 lengths over Discreetly Mine in stakes record time.
Homeboykris died while going back to his barn after winning the 1st race of the day during the 2016 Preakness Stakes card.
