Track Record

Barronstown Stud have bred 29 winners of 44 Classic or Group 1 races across the world. This is a tribute to some of those champions.

HORATIO NELSON – b.c. 2003 Danehill / Imagine


Notable Performances

1st – Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere,Gr.1

2nd – Dewhurst Stakes, Gr. 1

1st – Futurity Stakes,Gr.2

1st – Superlative Stakes,Gr.3

Horatio Nelson was bred to
be a star and he didn’t disappoint. After winning
his maiden and a Stakes race at the Curragh, he
led all the way to win the Superlative Stakes Gr.
2
at Newmarket. He next claimed the Prix Jean Luc Lagardere Gr. 1 at Longchamp.
A fortnight later in the Dewhurst Stakes Gr. 1, he had desperately bad luck in running and only just failed to peg back subsequent Derby winner Sir Percy by a short head. He looked
set to join the rank of legends as a three-year-old,
only to meet with tragedy in the Epsom Derby.
