Heroes of the Turf 💫💜   As Breeders’ Cup week gets underway, we look back at two exceptional racehorses who left an enduring mark on the Championships.   High Chaparral claimed back-to-back Breeders’ Cup Turf victories in 2002 and 2003, the latter in an unforgettable dead heat with Johar. His influence extended beyond the racecourse, going on to sire more than 20 Group 1 winners worldwide.   In 2011, superstar colt St Nicholas Abbey produced a memorable turn of foot to sweep clear by over two lengths in the Turf, securing the third of his six Group 1 victories.   #CoolmoreSires #HomeOfChampions
