Introducing Roadshow, an exceptionally well-bred 3-year-old gelding, now in training with 14-time Champion Trainer, Paul Nicholls OBE.

Roadshow is a former Coolmore horse, who has a page littered with Black Type. He was bought for €67,000 at the Arqana Summer Sale by Highflyer Bloodstock on behalf of Old Gold Racing.

Roadshow was trained by 31-time French champion trainer, Andre Fabre, for whom he won on debut as a two-year-old in good fashion, beating his nearest rival by 3½ lengths. Click here to watch the race.

He went on to run on four occasions, placing twice, including in the Listed Prix de l’Avre at ParisLongchamp. The winner of that race has since gone on to place at Group level.

Roadshow is a son of the great Galileo, who was the champion 3yo of his generation and who earned over £1.6 million in his two seasons in training. This places Roadshow in the family of Sadler’s Wells - one of racing’s most successful and influential thoroughbred bloodlines. Sadler’s Wells’ other offspring include Milan, Kayf Tara, Yeats, Ask, Old Vic and Opera House, to name just a few.

At stud Galileo built on his racing achievements by becoming Champion Sire on 12 occasions and before earning himself a private fee, he stood for €150,000. Some notable progeny include the unbeaten champion and subsequent Champion Sire, Frankel, along with the likes of Graded race winners Celestial Halo, Supasundae and Mystical Power over Jumps.

Roadshow’s dam, Acapulco, is herself a Group winner. She was trained by Wesley Ward in the USA, from whose yard she won the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, scored in a Listed race at Churchill Downs and placed in the Group 1 Nunthorpe at York. She later moved to Aidan O’Brien in Ireland for what would be her final race. It was a Listed race at the Curragh, which she won. Across her career, which included four successes from a total of seven runs, she earned over £200,000 in prize money.

Paul Nicholls took out his trainer’s licence in 1991 and has dominated the sport for three decades! Paul has trained from Manor Farm Stables in Ditcheat from the off. His achievements are second to none; he has been awarded an OBE for his services to horseracing, crowned Champion Trainer 14 times and trained over 3,700 winners with close to 150 of them at Grade 1 level, 48 Cheltenham Festival winners, four Cheltenham Gold Cups, a Grand National victory, 12 Tingle Creeks and an astonishing 13 King George VI Chase wins.
