After a summer break, Dylan Thomas beat Ouija Board in a thrilling finish to the Irish Champion Stakes in September.

As a four-year-old in 2007, Dylan Thomas won the Prix Ganay at Longchamp in France, and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, the latter under Johnny Murtagh.

On 8 September 2007 he became the first two-time winner of the Irish Champion Stakes and rider Kieren Fallon became the first jockey to win the race three times in succession.

The victory stood after a half-hour stewards enquiry into interference was caused because Dylan Thomas veered sharply to the right halfway up the home straight, thereby coming across two other runners.

The most successful of his first crop of foals was the German-trained 4 year old filly Nymphea who won the Group One Grosser Preis von Berlin in 2013.

His first Chilean crop born in 2014 included champion filly Penn Rose, who won the 2017 edition of the Group 1 Clásico Las Oaks and graded stakes winners Tavernera, Bicampeon Chileno and Sensa Paura, while his second crop born in 2020 includes multiple listed stakes winner Gigio L'Amico.
