Formal Gold (foaled April 20, 1993 in Ontario) is a retired Canadian-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who raced in the United States. He is famous for defeating Hall of Fame champion Skip Away in four of their six meetings, with major stakes wins including the Woodward Stakes, Donn Handicap and Philip H. Iselin Handicap. He ran three of the eight fastest Beyer Speed Figures of the 1990s, earning him recognition as one of the best horses who never won a championship.
