City Of Troy Horse Pedigree Fully ‘Justified’
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it comes to horse racing<\/a> pedigrees, City Of Troy<\/strong> has one of the best in the business – so before he even set foot on a racecourse he had a big reputation to uphold.<\/p>\n

The good news for his breeders is that he’s had no issues when it came to ‘Justifying’ his pedigree.<\/p>\n

Horse racing fans out there might have guessed it by now (with the pun clue) – but City Of Troy’s sire (his dad) is a US horse called Justify<\/strong>, who is the most recent US Triple Crown winner (2018) having won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes that year for trainer Bob Baffert.<\/p>\n

Meaning with this high-class US dirt pedigree in his locker there is every chance the City Of Troy horse racing owners could send him to America to tackle the 2024 Breeders’ Cup (more on that below).<\/p>\n

Justify ended his racing career in 2018 with five wins from his six runs – with his only defeat coming when disqualified in the Santa Anita Derby that season. He was also sent off as favourite for all his starts and won a huge $3,798,000 in total prize money.<\/p>\n

Then, when looking at City Of Troy’s dam, this is another high class mare called Together Forever<\/strong>, who was also trained by Aidan O’Brien.<\/p>\n

Together Forever won three of her nine career starts, with her big highlight the 2014 Group One Dubai Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket.<\/p>\n

City Of Troy Also Related To 2001 Epsom Derby Winner Galileo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The City Of Troy horse pedigree runs deeper too.<\/p>\n

His dam’s sire is Galileo<\/strong> – making the 2001 Epsom Derby winner his grandad and also meaning City Of Troy followed in his hoofprints to also win the most famous flat race in the world.<\/p>\n

Galileo stood at Coolmore Stud after retiring in 2001 and before dying at the age of 23 in 2021 went onto sire many top Group One horses – including the Ascot Gold Cup winner Kyprios.<\/p>\n

      WATCH: City Of Troy Winning The 2024 Epsom Derby<\/strong><\/h2>\n
