Overview
Harbour Law (foaled 30 March 2013) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse. Unraced as a two-year-old he showed steady improvement in 2016, winning two minor races and finishing second in the Queen's Vase before recording a 22/1 upset victory in the St Leger. In the following year he finished third in the Ascot Gold Cup but his racing career was ended by injury shortly afterwards.
Background
Harbour Law is a bay colt with a white star, bred by Anthony Oppenheimer's Hascombe and Valiant Studs. As a yearling in November 2014 the colt was offered for sale at Tattersalls but was not sold as he failed to reach his reserve price of £24,000. As two-year-old, Harbour Law was again put up for auction at Goffs in June 2015 and was bought for £30,000 by Kiltown Bloodstock. The colt entered the ownership of Jackie Cornwell and was sent into training with Jo Crowley at Whitcombe, Dorset.
He is from the fifth crop of foals sired by Lawman who won the Prix du Jockey Club and the Prix Jean Prat in 2006. His other progeny have included Most Improved, Marcel and Just The Judge (Irish 1000 Guineas and E. P. Taylor Stakes). Harbour Law's dam Abunai showed some ability as a racehorse, winning three times as a two-year-old in 2006, and was a granddaughter of the Child Stakes winner Inchmurrin.
