New Century (GB)

New Century began his career as a 2-year-old in Great Britain and, following a career debut loss on an all-weather track, he got his first win in his second lifetime start going seven furlongs at Doncaster on June 28, 2024. He earned his second win two races later going a mile at Salisbury in a three-horse field on Aug. 14. 

New Century came to North America for the first time to enter the Grade 1 $500,000 bet365 Summer Stakes going one mile on the turf at Woodbine on Sept. 14 and was victorious atop a 10-horse field with a late-running 1 1/4-length score. The Summer Stakes was a part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge "win and you're in" series, and with the win, New Century earned an expense-paid berth into the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf for his next start.

New Century is trained by Andrew Balding. He was bred in Great Britain by the sire Kameko out of the mare Potent Embrace by Street Cry.
