Background

Kolding was purchased for $170,000 at the 2017 New Zealand Premier Yearling Sale. He is a half-brother to Sampson, winner of the Trentham Stakes, Awapuni Gold Cup and New Zealand St. Leger.^[2]

Racing career

Kolding was defeated in his first three races however won at his fourth attempt on the 23 January 2019 at Canterbury when ridden by Hugh Bowman.

On the 8 June 2019, Kolding contested his first stakes race in the Queensland Guineas at Eagle Farm. Ridden by James McDonald he came from fourth-last to win by half a length. After the race trainer Chris Waller said, "I think he's the right horse to go through to the spring – an Epsom type of horse, in my opinion."^[3]
