A good looking chestnut gelding by Dutch Art, Contrast joined us in 2019.

A fantastic servant, he raced a total of 61 times in his career and recorded eight wins, with victories at Yarmouth, Beverley, Lingfield, Nottingham, Ripon, Haydock, Lingfield and Carlisle.

Contrast was retired from racing in September 2025 and will enjoy his retirement in Norfolk where he joins another of our ex-racehorses, Sneak The Peek.
