Fan favourite El Vencedor is our Sport Nation NZ Horse Of The Year! El Vencedor enjoyed a stellar season in 2024-25, with a hat-trick of Gr.1 victories in the Herbie Dyke Stakes, Ōtaki-Māori WFA Classic, and New Zealand Stakes all in rapid-fire succession. Bred and raced by Mark Freeman and David Price, and trained to perfection by Stephen Marsh, the son of Shocking proved himself a true powerhouse on the big stage. The people’s champ. The ultimate competitor. The 2024-25 Horse of the Year - EV!
