Middleground (1947-1972) [1] was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.
Ridden by 16-year-old apprentice jockey Bill Boland, and trained by Max Hirsch, both future U.S. Hall of Fame inductees, Middleground won the 1950 Kentucky Derby, finished second to Hill Prince after a rough trip in the Preakness Stakes, and won the Belmont Stakes.
Middleground died in 1972, and the gravesite is on the King Ranch, in Kingsville, Texas.[1]
