About
Northern Champion is a 3yo bay trained by E Walker in Upper Lambourn. He is by the stallion Wootton Bassett out of the dam Zargos. To date he has won four races. On 7 February 2026 at Meydan he claimed his biggest triumph, earning the $342998.00 prize in Race 4 – the Dubai Trophy Stakes sponsored by Azizi Developments on turf. The horse has been a profitable choice for punters; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 261% return on investment.
