Roaring Lion will join Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) on the roster, the three-time Group 1 winner and champion European 3-year-old who stood his first New Zealand season in 2018. ATo be able to secure two European champions in two years is extraordinary and very exciting for Cambridge and Australasian breeders,@ Cambridge Stud Chief Executive Officer Henry Plumptre said. ARoaring Lion is hugely sought after in the United Kingdom in his first season at stud, standing at £40,000. European breeders have recognised his brilliance and he is over subscribed.

  • My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written By: Jerry D
    My Drift Title: Triple Crown Written by: Jerry D. Petersen Date: 20 May 2017 Article Number: 259-2017-15 The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Horse Racing, better known as the Triple Crown, is a title awarded to a three-year-old thoroughbred horse who wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. The three races were inaugurated in different years, the last being the Kentucky Derby in 1875. These races are now run annually in May and early June of each year. The Triple Crown Trophy, commissioned in 1950 but awarded to all previous winners as well as those after 1950, is awarded to a Triple Crown winner. The Triple Crown Trophy Churchill Downs thoroughbred racetrack is located on Central Avenue in south Louisville, Kentucky. It is most famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby annually (on the first Saturday of May). This race is nicknamed, “The Run for the Roses.” The track is named for John and Henry Churchill who provided the land. It officially opened in 1875 and held the first Kentucky Derby and the first Kentucky Oaks in the same year. Churchill Downs has also hosted the renowned Breeders' Cup on eight occasions, most recently in 2011.
