Kolding (foaled 3 November 2015) is a retired New Zealand bred and Australian trained thoroughbred racehorse that has won three Group I races, as well as the inaugural running of the Golden Eagle in 2020.
Background
[edit]Kolding was purchased for $170,000 at the 2017 New Zealand Premier Yearling Sale. He is a half-brother to Sampson, winner of the Trentham Stakes, Awapuni Gold Cup and New Zealand St. Leger.[2]
Racing career
[edit]Kolding was defeated in his first three races however won at his fourth attempt on the 23 January 2019 at Canterbury when ridden by Hugh Bowman.
On the 8 June 2019, Kolding contested his first stakes race in the Queensland Guineas at Eagle Farm. Ridden by James McDonald he came from fourth-last to win by half a length. After the race trainer Chris Waller said, "I think he's the right horse to go through to the spring – an Epsom type of horse, in my opinion."[3]
Kolding went on to win the Epsom four months later and then at his next start won the first running of the Golden Eagle, collecting over $4,000,000 in prize-money.[4]
Kolding's two other Group 1 victories were the 2020 George Main Stakes and the 2021 All Aged Stakes.[5]
