|October 16, 2025

Jerome Reynier's six-year-old has finished second in the British Champions Day Group One for the last two years, but will have unseasonable quick ground to contend with this time around as he faces off against the likes of Field Of Gold and Rosallion.
"This is a very tough rendition, there's three or four top horses and it's a tough, tough race and if he can finish in the top three again then I will be totally happy," said Barry Irwin, CEO of Team Valor International, who own the horse in partnership with Gary Barber.
