Golden Current is certainly an oddity, as neither his sire nor his dam ever ran in a NH race. He’s actually bred well enough to be a useful staying horse on the flat.
We all know what Golden Horn achieved, the dam was a 12F Listed winner in France, running in the Wildenstein colours.
When his breeder sent him to Goffs as a 3yo unbroken store, he failed to reach his reserve of £30,000.
And he has a half brother by Harry Angel who made his debut in a 5F 2yo maiden for Brian Ellison last year and ended the season with a handicap mark of 62.
Not the usual profile of a future NH star!
