Lord Reims was a New Zealand-bred Thoroughbred racehorse who raced with success in Australia.

Background

[edit]

Lord Reims was a chestnut son of Zamazaan (FR) from the mare Right On (NZ).[1] He was trained in New Zealand by Cliff Fenwick at Takanini.

Racing career

[edit]

He excelled at staying races with his major race victories including the 1987 MRC Caulfield Cup (defeating the champion Beau Zam)[2] and three successive SAJC Adelaide Cup’s from 1987 to 1989 at Morphettville Racecourse.[3]

The horse died of colic complications at Melbourne airport returning from overseas.[citation needed]

Lord Reims was buried near the winning post at Morphettville[4] and in 2010 the Lord Reims Stakes was named in his honor.
