Biography

Daniel Swinney began recording tracks as Lemon Drop Kid during a time when he needed a break from his other recordings as Shovelbearer. Where the Shovelbearer recordings had grown increasingly brooding and dark, the Lemon Drop Kid tracks embodied a sense of good old-fashioned fun. Some of the best work of Swinney's recording career resulted. Swinney showcased the original Lemon Drop Kid recordings on Your EP of Choice, which had been secretly recorded and then released as a surprise. Several releases followed and Swinney began to modify his style, moving toward a trip-hop sort of sound, such as on the MInimalAnimal album. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

Lemon Drop Kid (foaled 1996) is a Champion American Thoroughbred racehorse. He is among many stakes-winning Thoroughbreds to be descended from Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew. Seattle Slew is the sire of his dam, Charming Lassie. Kingmambo was his sire, himself a son of the very important Champion sire Mr. Prospector and out of the great mare, Miesque.

Lemon Drop Kid played the spoiler to Charismatic's 1999 U.S. Triple Crown run, winning the Belmont Stakes that year by catching the frontrunning Charismatic in the homestretch. Lemon Drop Kid followed up with a win in the important Grade I Travers Stakes. In 2000, he had an outstanding year, winning several major Grade I races and earning U.S. Champion Older Male Horse honors.

Lemon Drop Kid currently stands in stud at Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Kentucky where he commands US$20,000 for a single live cover breeding. His first crop of foals in 2005 produced three stakes winners. His second crop in 2006 produced three more stakes winners, including the filly Lemons Forever, the longshot winner of the 2006 Kentucky Oaks. In 2009, his daughter Santa Teresita (horse) won the Grade I Santa Maria Handicap.
