Duke

What We Love

Duke is an absolute standout—not just for his Group 1 credentials, but for his striking looks and charismatic presence. With his flashy chestnut coat and elegant movement, he turns heads wherever he goes. He’s a real charmer around the paddock and always up for a pat or a photo!
