EQUALITY (GB)
TRAINED BY CHARLIE HILLS
2018 Bay Gelding by Equiano ex Penny Drops - Charlie Hills
KVS II
Equality is a high-class sprinter with proven Group-level form. His standout victory came in the Group 3 Coral Charge at Sandown in 2023 under William Buick, where he delivered a dominant performance. He followed that with a career-best third in the Group 1 Flying Five at The Curragh, firmly establishing himself as a genuine Group 1 contender.
By Equiano, a dual King’s Stand Stakes winner, Equality hails from a strong sprinting line that includes Group 1 stars such as The Tin Man, Strath Burn, and Equilateral. Equiano is a proven source of speed, and his paternal half-brother Dark Angel has become one of Europe’s leading sires — adding further depth to the pedigree.
His dam, Penny Drops, was a black-type performer for William Haggas and is out of Penny Cross, a half-sister to Group 2 Celebration Mile winner Priors Lodge. It’s a pedigree that consistently produces quality.
We purchased Equality at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale, and he has progressed steadily through the ranks, delivering several memorable performances along the way. After sustaining a tendon injury, he was given the necessary time to recover — and we’re pleased to report he’s now had the all-clear following a key scan. All being well, he will return to training later this season, and we look forward to seeing him back in action.
