Eminent
New Zealand owned gallopers Torcedor and Eminent filled minor placings in their respective European Group One contests over the weekend.
Torcedor finished second to star stayer Order Of St George in the Irish St Leger.
Purchased by Te Akau’s David Ellis, Torcedor is owned by a trio of Kiwis in Sir Patrick Hogan, Sir Peter Vela and Laurie Laxon, along with Mohammed Moussa.
Meanwhile the Sir Peter Vela-owned Eminent finished third in the Irish Champion Stakes when swamped late by Decorated Knight and Poet's Word after making much of the running under Frankie Dettori.
