Absolutely love this horse. My favourite horse for 18 months. Given me so much excitement to watch. Largest wager in my life on him to win the QE2 last year. Can’t think of another horse that has had the luck he has had with injuries and setbacks. Nor can think of one who has 3 group 1 seconds in one season?

Sorely missed.

Gutted I never got to see him in a 12f Group 1 race, dam you Aiden!

Raven’s Pass was runner up in 3 consecutive group 1 races in 2008

St James Palace Stakes
Prix Jean Prat
Sussex Stakes

Raven’s Pass

was another beautiful runner…
here he is after winning the 2008 Breeders’ Cup Classic!

I have never been to the Kentucky Derby,
so I enjoy the photographs taken by our UIC members…
I hope you will too.
