Home Of The Brave Headed To America for Gr.1 Breeders Cup Mile
The Hugo Palmer-trained five-year-old Home Of The Brave is eyeing this year’s Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup Mile at Del Mar after a respectable third in the Gr.2 Park Stakes at Doncaster.
Home Of The Brave under James Doyle led the eight-strong field before being joined by Spirit Of Valor at the halfway point. He was relegated to a close fifth with half a furlong to race but he battled back to take third place which was won by Aclaim.
Hugo Palmer commented: “I think he proved more than ever today, with the way he plugged on near the line without really quickening, that a mile in America is going to be up his street."
