Baron Samedi
(United Kingdom)About
Baron Samedi, a 7-year-old bay gelding trained in Ireland by Joseph O’Brien, is considered a highly talented racehorse. Despite siring from Harbour Watch and Dame Shirley, he has yet to earn significant prize money.
However, Baron Samedi’s victory in the prestigious Belmont Gold Cup at Belmont Park on June 4, 2021, under jockey John R Velazquez, highlights his potential. This win, against strong competition like Fantasioso, has made him a profitable bet for those who have supported him throughout his career, yielding a remarkable 121 percent return on investment.
