THERE are few breeders who can boast of having a record as good as that of John Tuthill at his Owenstown Stud in Maynooth, Co Kildare.

In 15 years since Excelebration (Exceed And Excel) won the Group 1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp in September 2011, the first of three top-flight successes he enjoyed, Tuthill has gone on to produce two Group 1 winners out of Choose Me (Choisir), both successful on British Champions Day. They are Persuasive (Dark Angel) and Creative Force (Dubawi).
