Can Freddie Head break his Classic duck?

As a jockey, there was very little that Freddie Head did not achieve in racing. In his native country the Frenchman won the Prix de l'Arc and the Derby four times, won the 2000 Guineas and the Oaks six times each and added eight 1000 Guineas to a CV bordering on the encyclopaedic.

On his travels, he added an English 2000 Guineas, two Newmarket 1000 Guineas and two Breeders' Cup Miles, amongst other notable successes.

Since changing his focus to training he's added three more victories in the Breeders' Cup Mile all courtesy of that brilliant mare Goldikova, who has also given her trainer Group 1 success in the Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket and the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. Add Marchand D'Or's success in the July Cup of 2008 to three Maurice de Gheest victories in his homeland and you have the profile of a truly top class trainer.
