Overdose (Great Britain, Nottinghamshire, born april 2. 2005- )[1] Nick name Dózi.
Overdose is a Hungarian speedstar, trained by Sándor Ribárszki. He is English bred and was sold at Tattersalls Autumn breeze-up sales in November 2006 for 2,000 guineas. His sire was also a sprinter called Starborough and he was out of a Warning dam called Our Poppet. He is a half brother to 3 winners but he himself is the most successful. He has won over £100,000 in prize money. [2]
Overdose is notable for the fact that he has won 10 out of 10 races. His career is just starting, and he entered for many of the top classics in the UK. Only time will tell if he can match the exploits of 19th Century Hungarian mare Kincsem, who won 54 out of 54 of her races, and with a legitimate claim of being the most successful racehorse of all time.
Racing career
In a high-class Group 1 event, Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp, Paris; Overdose passed the post first, almost breaking the course record as he was unchallenged. But one horse remained in the stalls and the race became void. Most of the other horses returned although Ribárszki didn't want to ruin Overdose so withdrew him from the re-run. French champion jockey, Christophe Soumillon, has been booked to ride Overdose in all of his races in 2009. Taking over the job from Andreas Suborics who has won on the sprinter 10 times. After a debut at Kincsem Park, Budapest; Overdose shall pursue a career in England. He is due to run in the Temple Stakes, Group 2, Haydock, the King's Stand Stakes, Group 1, Royal Ascot, the Golden Jubilee, Group 1, Royal Ascot and the July Cup, Group 1, Newmarket (July Course).[3] The owner, Zoltán Mikóczy, only bought Overdose by chance. He has been quoted to say "I just put my hand up for fun, I like the excitement of horse auctions. I thought no horse can go this cheap and surely somebody else would bid. He's short and I'd say kind of ugly, so of course nobody wanted him." [4]
