War Horse did justice to his name!

He had the spirit of a warrior

This champion from the past, sired by the remarkable Victory Moon, embodies the spirit and fervour that defines horse racing's allure. When Spies racing acquired this gorgeous specimen at the then Cape Yearling Sales, we knew his lineage promised greatness, and he did not disappoint.

Victorious in the Group 3 Protea Stakes and the illustrious Group 1 Golden Horseshoe on Vodacom Durban July day in 2012, War Horse galloped his way into the hearts of his owner and the team as a whole. His triumphs on the racetrack are not just wins; they are testaments to his unparalleled mettle and determination. Each stride, each turn, tells a story of passion and ambition.

With career earnings that exceeded R800,000 in prize money, War Horse's legacy is not just about his phenomenal winnings but the indomitable spirit he brought to every race. This post serves as a quaint reminder of the horses that have been part of success that Spies Racing has built over the years.
