Naturalism (foaled 1988) was a New Zealand-bred Australian-trained Thoroughbred racehorse.
Background
Naturalism was a bay gelding sired by Palace Music, a Kentucky-bred, French-trained racehorse who won the Champion Stakes in 1984. At stud, he was best known as the sire of the American champion Cigar. Naturalism was purchased as a yearling for A$35,000 by Anthony Freedman.
Racing career
Naturalism's wins included three Group One races.[1]
According to the Freedman brothers website, Lee Freedman rated Naturalism was one of the five best horses he ever trained. The website also says that "Probably his greatest performance was his second in the Japan Cup, as he wasn't really a 2400m horse." [2]
