Overview
Golden Horde (foaled 11 February 2017) is an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. As a two-year-old in 2019 he was one of the best colts of his generation in Europe, winning the Richmond Stakes, running second in the Middle Park Stakes and finishing third in the Prix Morny. On his first run as a three-year-old he won the Commonwealth Cup and went on to finish third in both the July Cup and the Haydock Sprint Cup.
Background
Golden Horde is a chestnut colt with a white star bred in Ireland by James Cloney of CN Farm Ltd. As a yearling in August 2018 he was consigned to the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale and was bought for £65,000 by the trainer Clive Cox who took him into traniing at his stable at Lambourn in Berkshire. Golden Horde races in the colours of AlMohamediya Racing and has been ridden in most of his races by Adam Kirby.
He was from the second crop of foals sired by Lethal Force, an outstanding sprinter whose wins included the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and the July Cup. Golden Horde's dam Entreat showed modest racing ability, winning one minor races from eight starts. Her other foals have included the Pipalong Stakes winner Exhort. Entreat's dam River Saint was a half-sister to Serena's Song.
