ROYAL MEETING was owned by Godolphin and trained by Saeed bin Suroor with 2 wins and 1 third in 7 starts, winning distance at 1403M where he denied Aidan O'Brien’s HERMOSA on his 2nd attempt in G1 Criterium International with Christophe Soumillon on board. He made his way to Australia at age 3 that finished 3rd in Moonga Stakes but finished last in G1 Cantala Stakes with the field of 16 runners. After no success in 3 attempts at Meydan during his 4YO season, the son of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT retired from racing and commenced stud duties in 2020 and stationed at Lovatsville, Australia with 1 black type contest winner that is 2025 Blue Diamond Stakes champion HAYASUGI. His fee in 2024 is AUD$ 22,000. ALWAYS AHEAD was formerly known as BALMORAL that owned by James Harron Bloodstock & partner that trained by Michael Freedman originally. After finished 4th on his debut in a 1000M race at Sunshine Coast, he ran on for 2nd in a 1000M event by racing handy at Hawkesbury. The gelding has been put in an online sale that sold at AUD$ 55,000 and reoffered at AUD$ 70,000 as horse is ineligible for export due to being Hendra vaccinated. He joined Luke Pepper’s yard afterwards and collected a 4th in a 900M race at Albury, then broke his maiden in a 1200M contest by racing handy at Sapphire Coast. Former HK runner PRINCE OF PORTY with 4 wins in sprint event is his dam family member. The bay gelding should be a sprinter that fine at Happy Valley and no problem on dirt as he used to win a synthetic trial oversea.
