Lesson plan
Gladiatorus
Gladiatorus (foaled 28 March 2005) is an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was initially trained in Italy where he was one of the best juvenile colts of 2007, winning six races (four of them at Listed level) and finishing runner-up in the Group 1 Gran Criterium. He was then acquired by Godolphin but had training problems and missed the whole of the next season. He reached his peak in the early part of 2009 when he won his first three races in Dubai including emphatic victories in the Al Fahidi Fort and the Dubai Duty Free. He was less successful when campaigned in Europe but recorded a final major victory when taking the Premio Vittorio di Capua and was rated one of the best racehorses in the world at the end of the year. In 2019 Gladiatorus alongside Nocturnal Fox is standing in John Lynch's Windmill View Stud Ballinasloe County Galway Ireland. Notably Windmill View Stud produced Just A Par sired by Island House, foaled by TheBrownHen.
