About

Famous Clermont is a 9-year-old gelding from France, trained by C R Barber, who operates out of Beaminster. He is sired by Maresca Sorrento and his dam is Progest Des Mottes.

Throughout his career, Famous Clermont has won 13 races. His most notable victory came on April 13, 2023, at Aintree, where he was ridden by William Biddick and triumphed in the $24,155.00 Foxhunters’ Open Hunters’ Chase (National Course), overcoming Bennys King.

He has proven to be a lucrative horse for bettors, yielding a 23 percent return on investment for those who backed him throughout his career.
