Worth (1909–1912) was an American Thoroughbred race horse. He was the winner of the 1912 Kentucky Derby, as well as the Chesapeake Stakes and Latonia Handicap. He was the top racehorse, based on earnings, in 1911 and became a U.S. champion in 1912.
On November 6, 1912, Worth was severely injured during a race run at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Worth's jockey, MacTaggart, rode too closely to another horse, causing a three horse collision that severely injured two other jockeys and severed two tendons in Worth's leg. Worth was euthanized shortly after this incident due to his extensive injuries.
