US Navy Flag just defies all known logic

Isn’t US Navy Flag one of the most extraordinary horses in the history of flat racing?

At Newmarket last Saturday he landed the six furlongs Group 1 Darley July Cup and it was an astonishing performance, given what had gone before.

We know Martin Pipe revolutionised the manner in which National Hunt horses were trained and it is no exaggeration to say that U S Navy Flag’s trainer, Aidan O’Brien, is threatening to do the same, when it comes to the flat game.
