Continent (horse)
Continent is a retired British champion Thoroughbred racehorse. A gelding who specialised in sprint distances, he improved from handicap class to become European Champion Sprinter in 2002. In his championship season he ran thirteen times and won two Group One races; the July Cup at Newmarket and the Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp, becoming the first gelding to win the latter race. In all, he ran seventy times in a career which lasted from 1999 until his retirement at the age of eleven in 2008.
==Background==
Continent, a chestnut gelding with a narrow white stripe, was bred by his first owner Khalid Abdullah’s Juddmonte Farm. He was one of the first crop of foals sired by Lake Coniston, a top class sprinter who won the July Cup in 1995. Apart from Continent, Lake Coniston made little impact as a sire in Europe, and was exported to South Africa where he died in 2014. Continent’s dam Krisia, was a daughter of the Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Interval and a half sister to several winners.
Continent was originally trained in France by Pascal Bary for Khalid Abdulla. At the end of his three-year-old season he was sent to the Tattersalls October sales where he was bought for 40,000gns by McKeever St Lawrence a Newmarket-based bloodstock agency and entered the ownership of Edward St George’s Lucayan Stud. He was then sent to the North Yorkshire stable of David Nicholls.
