About
Goliath is a 6yo bay colt trained by F Graffard in France. He is by Adlerflug out of Gouache. With a Group One victory and career earnings of $4,472,554, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 27 July 2024 at Ascot, ridden by Christophe Soumillon, Goliath secured his biggest win, claiming the $1,229,625 Cl1 prize ahead of Bluestocking. He has consistently delivered value to bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 115% return on investment.
