Modern Day Hero

Elliott's yard is in exceptional form this season with 210 winners already to their name, so any newcomer arriving at Longwood comes with serious backing. The fact that Modern Day Hero is five years old and only now making his debut suggests the trainer has taken time to develop him properly rather than rushing him to the track. When Elliott sends out a horse at this stage, it usually means the horse has shown enough at home to justify the investment of patience. The pedigree is solid too — Order Of St George has produced multiple winners at distance, and a Choisir cross tends to produce hardy, game racehorses that stay well. Modern Day Hero has all the right ingredients on paper, and he'll be looking to give Elliott's already impressive season another boost.
