Sepfourteen is a Filipino Thoroughbred racehorse who is the 2017 Philracom Triple Crown champion and the 2018 Presidential Gold Cup champion.
Background
[edit]Sepfourteen was foaled on May 13, 2014, and was raised by his owner, Jojo Velasquez, at the Santa Clara Stockfarm in Santo Tomas, Batangas.[1] He is a progeny of Regal Boom, an Australian import and one of the first horses brought in by SC Stockfarm.[2] The sire of Sepfourteen is Juvenile Consolidator who was brought in from the United States by PHILTOBO president Manny Santos in 2011.[1]
Sepfourteen was initially offered for sale by Velasquez for ₱600,000, but potential buyers declined due to skepticism on the horse's physique. As a result, Velasquez decided to name the horse himself and race him under his ownership.[1]
The chesnut-coated colt was named in reference to Velasquez's birthday, September 14.[1][3] He was trained by Tomasito Santos.[4]
Horse racing career
[edit]Sepfourteen was already racing as a two-year-old in 2016.[1] He later captured the Philracom Triple Crown title, winning all three races of the 2017 series.[5] Ridden by jockey Alvin Guce, Sepfourteen became the eleventh horse to achieve the feat.[6] He also won the 2018 Presidential Gold Cup.[7]
Sepfourteen was recognized at the 2019 Philippine Racing Commission (Philracom) Awards as the Top Earning Horse of the Year for the prize money he garnered the previous year.[8]
