Background
Dornoch is a bay colt bred in Kentucky by Grandview Equine. His sire Good Magic was the U.S. Champion Two-Year-Old in 2017 after he won the 2017 Breeders' Cup Juvenile as a maiden; in 2018 he finished second in the Kentucky Derby. Good Magic, in 2024 stands for $125,000 at Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Paris, Kentucky.

His dam, Puca, is a Grade 2-placed stakes-winning daughter of Big Brown. Breeders Grandview, with the help of Alex Solis II and Jason Litt, went to $475,000 for Puca at The November Sale in 2018, Fasig-Tipton Kentucky's boutique fall mixed sale where she was consigned by Denali Stud. Puca's offspring include 2023 Kentucky Derby winner Mage.

Dornoch was bought by the Oracle Bloodstock agent as a yearling at the Keeneland September Sales for US$325,000.

Former Major League Baseball player Jayson Werth's Two Eight Racing Stable is a co-owner of Dornoch.
