Bred and owned by Harvey Peltier, Sr., and trained by J. O. Meaux. This Louisiana-owned colt's two-year old season included victories in the Arch Ward and Graustark Stakes and a second-place finish in the Arlington-Washington Futurity at Arlington Park in Chicago. In his three-year-old season, Colonel Power won the Thanksgiving and Lecomte Handicaps and was a memorable second to arch rival Master Derby in both the Louisiana Derby Trial and the Louisiana Derby. Also in 1975, this speedy son of Fair Grounds favorite Diplomat Way, who is also a member of the Fair Grounds' Racing Hall of Fame, set the track record of 1:09 for six furlongs, a mark which stood for 15 years. Later that same year, Colonel Power won the Illinois Derby. In 1976, he returned to Fair Grounds to capture the Pelleteri Handicap. Colonel Power's career totals were 65 starts with 22 wins, 10 seconds and seven thirds for earnings of $355,600.
