"Waldgeist is like a French wine, improving with age. He combines the very best of Irish and German thoroughbred breeding and has achieved his great success in six countries over four racing seasons. He was a top class horse as a two-, three- and four-year-old already, but he was able to jump to yet another level in 2019 to win the most prestigious race in the world. Waldgeist is the prime example of a modern equine world traveller."
(Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, CEO des Hong Kong Jockey Club)
