“They’re both top-class racehorses from the red-hot Invincible Spirit sire line and are both out of Group winning juveniles. In fact Calyx is the fastest son of Kingman, while Magna Grecia is the only son of Invincible Spirit to be a Group 1 winner at 2 and 3.”

On the racecourse Calyx comfortably beat multiple Group Iwinner Advertise in the Group II Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot as a 2YO and the following season he was just as impressive in the Group III Commonwealth Cup Trial, both over 1200 metres.

Magna Grecia defeated numerous subsequent Group 1 winners in the Group I Vertem Futurity Trophy, then followed up on his 3YO debut by landing the Group I 2,000 Guineas in a faster time than Frankel.
