Flavius breaks track record in Tourist Mile

Flavius set a track record in the Listed Tourist Mile Stakes at Kentucky Downs on Monday (7th September).

It was a first win in the US for the five-year-old son of War Front, who was previously trained in Ireland by Dermot Weld, where he won the Listed Trigo Stakes.

Whit Beckman, assistant to Flavius's now trainer Chad Brown, said: "He came to Churchill Downs last Monday. He had come from Europe and maybe he would like this kind of course. It was a good decision. He broke better today than he has in his past two starts. Javier rode him beautifully and he kicked on. He showed a real turn of foot."
