Holy See (2021) Horse
About
Holy See is a 5yo bay trained by W Durkan. It is sired by the stallion Night Of Thunder out of the dam Lady Of The Lamp. Holy See has won 3 races to date. On 19 Jan 2024 at Pornichet, Holy See secured its biggest victory, earning $9,292 in the Du Pont De Saint‑Nazaire Maiden Stakes (Awt). The horse has been a lucrative choice for punters; backing Holy See throughout its career would have yielded a 100% return on investment.
