Sepfourteen

Sepfourteen is a Filipino Thoroughbred racehorse who is the 2017 Philracom Triple Crown champion and the 2018 Presidential Gold Cup champion.

Background

Sepfourteen was foaled on May 13, 2014, and was raised by his owner, Jojo Velasquez, at the Santa Clara Stockfarm in Santo Tomas, Batangas. He is a progeny of Regal Boom, an Australian import and one of the first horses brought in by SC Stockfarm. The sire of Sepfourteen is Juvenile Consolidator who was brought in from the United States by PHILTOBO president Manny Santos in 2011.
Sepfourteen was initially offered for sale by Velasquez for, but potential buyers declined due to skepticism on the horse's physique. As a result, Velasquez decided to name the horse himself and race him under his ownership.
The chesnut-coated colt was named in reference to Velasquez's birthday, September 14. He was trained by Tomasito Santos.

Horse racing career

Sepfourteen was already racing as a two-year-old in 2016. He later captured the Philracom Triple Crown title, winning all three races of the 2017 series. Ridden by jockey Alvin Guce, Sepfourteen became the eleventh horse to achieve the feat. He also won the 2018 Presidential Gold Cup.
Sepfourteen was recognized at the 2019 Philippine Racing Commission Awards as the Top Earning Horse of the Year for the prize money he garnered the previous year.
