Two years ago Classic Empire triumphed in the G1 @breederscup Juvenile with “one of the most impressive performances ever seen in the BC Juvenile,” Steve Haskin @thebloodhorse. Having already dominated in the G1 Claiborne Breeders Futurity & G3 Bashford Manor S., Classic Empire was the unanimous choice for Champion 2YO honors and also went on to win the G1 Arkansas Derby At 3. Mark Casse stated “He’s an extremely talented horse, without a doubt the most talented 2-year-old that I’ve ever trained. I think that kind of goes without saying. He amazes me.” Classic Empire’s first foals will be arriving in 2019. #CoolmoreSires #HomeOfChampions
