Dr Fong
Dr Fong (foaled 6 April 1995) is an American-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was foaled in Kentucky but sold as a yearling to race in Europe where he was trained in England by Henry Cecil. He won both his races as a two-year-old including the Autumn Stakes and emerged as a potentially top-class performer in the following spring with a win in the Newmarket Stakes. After finishing fourth in the Dante Stakes and third in the Prix Jean Prat he recorded his biggest victory when defeating Desert Prince in the St James's Palace Stakes. He went on to win the Prix Eugene Adam in France but was beaten by Desert Prince in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. Dr Fong was sent to race in the United States but failed to reproduce his best form and did not win again. Since his retirement from racing he has stood as a breeding stallion in Britain, France and Turkey and has sired several major winners.
Background
Dr Fong was a chestnut horse with a white blaze and a white sock on his left hind leg bred in Kentucky by Prestonwood Farm Inc. He was sired by Kris S, who made little impact as a racehore but sired the winners of more than 20 Group One/Grade I races, including Symboli Kris S, Brocco and Kris Kin. Dr Fong's dam Spring Flight won eight times when racing in the United States between 1989 and 1992, recording her best win in the Senorita Stakes. Apart from Dr Fong, she produced Lucky Story who won the Vintage Stakes and the Champagne Stakes in 2003
