“Outstanding Fastnet Rock colt Merchant Navy left Australia earlier this year as the best three year-old sprinter in the country and is now one of the best in the world after capturing the Group I Diamond Jubilee Stakes (6f) at Royal Ascot overnight for Coolmore.” Breednet.com.au Despite being weighted as a northern hemisphere 4YO while still being a southern hemisphere 3YO Merchant Navy shows his class and toughness to win the Diamond Jubilee Stakes-Gr.1 at Royal Ascot in a fast time. It’s no surprise then that Timeform rated him 126 .
