Owned by Broderick’s stalwart supporters Caledonia Stables, this eight-year-old gelding has shown promise of great things from the start. He won the five and six-year-old Irish Breeders Classic in 2012, qualified twice for the RDS and recording several placings at National Grand Prix level as a seven-year-old.

Bred by Ita Brennan in Gowran, Co Kilkenny, MHS Going Global (ISH) is by Quidam Junior I (KWPN) out of Gowran Lady (ISH), by Cavalier Royale (HOLST). In the past Broderick has described the gelding as “the best horse I’ve ever sat on” and “a future Nations’ Cup horse, a proper championship horse.”
