Australia (horse)
Australia (foaled 8 April 2011) is a British-bred, Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the 2014 Epsom Derby. As a two-year-old in 2013, he won two of his three races, creating a very favourable impression when winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Trial Stakes, and was highly regarded by his trainer Aidan O'Brien. In May 2014 he finished third behind Night of Thunder and Kingman in the 2000 Guineas before winning the Epsom Derby on 7 June. He subsequently won the Irish Derby and International Stakes before being defeated by The Grey Gatsby in the Irish Champion Stakes. His racing career was ended by injury in October 2014. He is standing at Coolmore stud.
==Background==
Australia is a chestnut colt with a narrow white blaze bred by the Newmarket-based Stanley House stud. Australia was sired by Galileo, a Derby winner himself who went on to become an outstanding breeding stallion, winning the title of champion sire on five occasions. Galileo had sired two previous Epsom Derby winners New Approach in 2007 and Ruler of the World in 2013. Australia's Dam Ouija Board won seven Group One races including the 2004 Epsom Oaks and was twice named European Horse of the Year. He is the fourth foal produced by Ouija Board and second to Galileo, Australia's older sister Filia Regina has had limited success with only a single victory in a handicap at Yarmouth. His half brother Our Voodoo Prince won 3 races in Britain before being sold and is currently in training with Chris Waller in Australia.
In October 2012, the yearling was sent to the Tattersalls sales where he was bought for 525,000 guineas by the bloodstock agent Dermot "Demi" O'Byrne acting on behalf of John Magnier's Coolmore organisation. For racing purposes, Australia runs in the ownership of a partnership consisting of Susan Magnier, Derrick Smith, Michael Tabor and the Malaysian architect and entrepreneur Teo Ah Khing of Desert Star Holdings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TEO AH KHING )〕 Jockey Joseph O'Brien rode Australia in all the races of his career and has worn the purple silks of Derrick Smith on all those occasions.
Co-owner Susan Magnier is in charge of naming Coolmore's horses. Her husband John believes she had kept the name Australia for a promising horse who might one day stand at their Australian Stud.
