Flintshire Named Champion Turf Male

Globetrotting turf star Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB}) (137 first-place votes) bested GI Breeders' Cup Turf winner Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (76) and GI Breeders' Cup Mile hero Tourist (Tiznow) (32) to take home the hardware as the Eclipse Champion Turf Male of 2016. It was the first win in this category for the formidable racing/breeding operation owned by Prince Khalid bin Abdullah, who has also sent out fellow Juddmonte-breds Wandesta (GB) (1996), Ryafan (1997), Banks Hill (GB) (2001) and her full-sister Intercontinental (GB) (2005) to land the female equivalent.
