Holy Roman Emperor

Holy Roman Emperor

Bay 2004 15.2½ hh
Danehill – L’On Vite
Distance won over: 1200 to 1400m

"Seven races in little over four months represents a pretty arduous campaign for the two-year-old, especially so when four of those races were in Group 1 company. It is a long time since a juvenile contested the Phoenix Stakes, National Stakes, Grand Criterium and Dewhurst Stakes and considering he produced an improved level of performance each time bears testimony to Holy Roman Emperor’s constitution"
