About

Provence is a 6yo bay/brown mare trained by Stephen Marsh in Cambridge. She is out of the dam Sombreuil and sired by Savabeel. With a Group One victory and total earnings of $980,442, she is considered an elite racehorse. On 8 March 2025 at Ellerslie, ridden by Sam Spratt, she captured her biggest triumph in the $600,000 F&M Open Weight‑For‑Age, beating Jaarffi. Punters have found her lucrative; backing her over her career would have yielded a 331% ROI.
