About

Rekindling is an 11yo bay stallion from the United Kingdom trained by J P O'Brien, Kilkenny. He is sired by High Chaparral out of Sitara. Having won at Group One level and earned $0 in career earnings, Rekindling is considered an elite racehorse. On November 7, 2017, at Flemington, Rekindling, ridden by Corey Brown, achieved his most notable victory, winning the $6,000,000 Emirates Melbourne Cup and defeating Johannes Vermeer. Throughout his career, Rekindling has been a profitable choice for bettors. Backing Rekindling throughout his career would have resulted in a 275% return on investment. Rekindling concluded his racing career, with his final race on July 11, 2020, at Leopardstown.
