COULTHARD WINS ON US DEBUT

09 Feb 2021

Coulthard

Coulthard was third in the G3 Heider Stables Round Tower Stakes at The Curragh on August 28 for owner/trainer Michael O'Callaghan then acquired for 90,000gns at the Tattersalls Autumn Horses in Training Sale by Jamie Lloyd. Racing in Santa Anita the even-money chalk stamped himself as one to watch going forward off of a head-turning Stateside debut. Out-footed and hard-ridden to take up a position in third last down the backside, the bay revved up out wide heading for home. Shifting in as he continued to pick off horses in upper stretch, he gobbled up ground in typical European style to post the 1 1/2-length decision. TVG commented, “Coulthard caught the eye with a brilliant turn of foot… just hand-ridden and coxed along he went right on by – winning convincingly.” Congratulations to trainer Phil D’Amato, owner Jay Manoogian and breeder James Waldron / Joey Barton.
