Watch: Three-Year-Old Thoroughbred Worth $211,210 Takes Home Popular Equestrian Race Victory

This superstar horse has been doing quite well for his owners over the past few months. The staggering horse has now added another feather to his equestrian crown. Not only the horse but also its legendary trainer have secured another triumph in their careers. This horse is none other than the young three-year-old sensation Scotland, who made his way to the top in a race recently. He raced like a thunderbolt on the track and came out victorious in almost a one-sided game.

Sired by a famous champion horse and a winner of multiple stakes, he did not disappoint. The video of this race is going viral on social media platforms, and people are loving it.

A showcase of equestrian brilliance

The video was shared by The New York Racing Association, Inc., on Friday on their official YouTube channel. It captures the resplendence of this three-year-old precisely. The footage is from the Curlin Stakes, worth $1,35,000; which was organized at the esteemed Saratoga racetrack. The moment the race started and the stalls opened, Scotland and Junior Alvarado’s sheer dominance became evident. Throughout the race, the pair maintained their top position and ultimately emerged victorious with a length of 3 1/4.

With this win, not only has Scotland begged for $1,35,000, but it has also earned itself a start at one of the biggest equestrian events in August. He has fixed a spot at the $1.25 million Travers Stakes, which will take place on August 26. Scotland’s legendary Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott expressed his delight as he stated, “Looking at the paper, it was no surprise.”

What makes this win even more glorious is that this was just the fourth start of his career, and he impressed everyone. This young prodigy has a long history in equestrian as his father was none other than the winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Winner (G1) at 2 and 3, Good Magic, so he has a vast lineage to follow.

The stats of Scotland

He was foaled on April 15, 2020, and is the offspring of Gemswick Park and Good Magic. In his 4 career starts, he has 3 firsts and 1 second and has career winnings worth $211,210.
