Blastfromthepast was born February 14, 2018, at GreenMount Farm, and is a Maryland-bred colt from the first crop of unbeaten Grade 1-winning 2-year-old Hit It a Bomb. He is out of Akasha, a three-time winning mare whose second dam is a full-sister to the multiple Grade 1 winner and leading sire, Seeking the Gold.

His name comes from the link between “blast” and “bomb”, plus the fact that “akasha” is a Hindu term for one of the five elements that is the basis or essence of all things in the world, since the beginning — hence, Blastfromthepast.
