Ramblin Guy was bred by Alice Headley Chandler, owner of Mill Ridge Farm near Lexington, Kentucky and a National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame inductee as one of its esteemed Pillars of the Turf.[3] Purchased by the Siegel family, Ramblin' Guy made his racing debut on May 12, 1993, in a five and one-half furlong race for maidens. He won the Hollywood Park Racetrack event with a time of 51.35 seconds that broke the track record.[4]
In addition to his win in the Hollywood Juvenile, Ramblin' Guy earned second-place finishes in the important Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs, the Del Mar Futurity at Del Mar Racetrack, and the Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita Park.[4]
