Golden Horn (horse)

Golden Horn (foaled 27 March 2012) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse and breeding stallion who was the 2015 European Horse of the Year after winning the Derby, Eclipse Stakes, Irish Champion Stakes and Arc de Triomphe and coming second in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

In a racing career which lasted from October 2014 until October 2015 Golden Horn won seven of his nine races. He was bred in England by his owner Anthony Oppenheimer and trained by John Gosden.

After winning his only race as a two-year-old in 2014, Golden Horn won the Feilden Stakes and then established himself as favourite for the 2015 Epsom Derby with a victory over a strong field in the Dante Stakes. After his owner paid a £75,000 supplementary entry fee, Golden Horn won the Derby on 6 June. He then finished first in the Eclipse Stakes. Golden Horn lost his unbeaten record in the Juddmonte International. He went on to win a controversial race for the Irish Champion Stakes in September before a victory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Golden Horn ended his racing career by finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Turf.
