Bio
River Boyne, an Irish-bred colt, raced three times in his home country and in England before shipping to the U.S., where he is based in California and trained by Jeff Mullins. He broke his maiden in his second stateside start on Dec. 26, 2017, and won four of his first five starts in 2018. Those wins included two listed stakes at Santa Anita and on Aug. 4 his first graded stakes win, when he took the Grade 3 La Jolla Handicap at Del Mar by 1 ¼ lengths as the 1-2 favorite.

River Boyne continued to race in top form through the rest of 2018, winning the Grade 2 Twilight Derby and the Grade 2 Mathis Brothers Mile Stakes, both at Santa Anita Park, and finishing a close second in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby and third in the Grade 2 Del Mar Derby.
In 2019, River Boyne was winless in seven starts but ran second in a pair of graded stakes, including the Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile Stakes, and third in two other stakes. River Boyne finished third in the Cotton Fitzsimmons Mile Handicap at Turf Paradise in his 5-year-old bow before he halted an eight-race losing streak with a victory in the Grade 3 Thunder Road Stakes Feb. 8, 2020, at Santa Anita. Having finished second twice previously in Grade 1 races, River Boyne secured a signature Grade 1 win March 7 at Santa Anita Park when he overhauled multiple Grade 1 winner Got Stormy late to win the Frank E. Kilroe Mile Stakes.
