Papal Army (2021) Horse
About
Papal Army is a 4yo brown gelding trained by Emma‑Lee and David Browne and stands at Pakenham OC. He is by the stallion U S Navy Flag out of the mare Entirely Saintly. He has secured two race wins to date. On 31 July 2025 at Sale, he earned his most notable victory, taking the $35,000 2yo+ Benchmark 64 Handicap. The colt has proven profitable for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have produced a 46% return on investment.
