About

Diego Velazquez is a 4yo bay stallion trained by Aidan P. O'Brien. He is by Frankel out of Sweepstake. With a Group One victory and total earnings of $3,067,008, he is considered an elite racehorse. On 17 Aug 2025 at Deauville, ridden by Christophe Soumillon, he captured his biggest win, the $1,000,000 Aga Khan Studs Prix Jacques Le Marois (G1), beating Notable Speech. Throughout his career he has been a profitable pick for bettors; backing him from the start would have yielded a 5% return on investment.
