From humble beginnings to Hong Kong: Pyledriver’s rise to global stardom

Pyledriver is a horse that didn't sell at auction as a foal. He won the Coronation Cup at Epsom in June and the Royal Ascot in 2020. His trainer, William Muir, and his owners, Huw and Guy Leech and Roger Devlin, are taking him to Hong Kong for the Group One Hongkong Vase on Sunday. Pylediver is the son of Harbour Watch and sire of Waikuku. He was bred by his owner-breeders from a mare that was bought to go jumps racing but had a career-ending injury before she got to the racecourse.
